+ * @class SoFCTransform
+ * @brief A temporary workaround for coin3d/coin#534.
+ * 
+ * This class is a workaround for a missing feature to reduce the OpenGL stack size.
+ * The issue was reported here: https://github.com/coin3d/coin/issues/534
+ * And was merged here: https://github.com/coin3d/coin/pull/535
+ * 
+ * Once this feature is available in all supported versions of Coin3D, this class should
+ * be removed and all instances should revert to using SoTransform.
