// DESCRIPTION:
// 
// This plug-in demonstrates how to register/de-register a callback
// with the MPolyMessage class.
//
// This plug-in will register a new command in Maya called "polyMessage"
// that adds a callback for all nodes in the active selection list.
// A message is printed to stdout whenever a component id of one of
// the poly nodes is modified.
//
// To run this plug-in:
//  (1) Create a poly plane.
//  (2) Open the outliner and select the poly shape.
//  (3) Run the "polyMessage" plug-in.
//  (4) Select some vertices of the poly shape.
//  (5) Hit the delete key to see the remapped ids of the edges, vertices, and faces written out.
//
