yes, it's not a static/class method so the MFnDependencyNode class needs to be
instantiated to use that method... meaning you need an existing node. i've
done some very nasty things using dg modifiers to create "ghosedt" nodes that
do not yet exist to find out their type, the revert the dgmod, but i'd rather
not have to do that.
