I would like to point out by the way that although almost all friend
functions are listed as having no script support, the first version of slerp
(http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2009help/API/class_m_quaternion.html)
is not listed as such (either here or in the header files, 2008 or 2009).

I added this page to my blog in response to a e-mail from someone. I
thought it might help some of those that are newer to using the Python
API.

Absolutely. That fun, and then the not ACTUALLY implicit knowledge,
but so-complicated-it-may-as-well-be-implicit-knowledge goodness of
how you get (from a MEL perspective) from creating a float attribute,
to bloody using it. From (double) to reading it in a node (blah blah
blah.asFloat() ) to c
Keep in mind this documentation is for the C++ API, where all this makes a
lot more sense. It doesn't always have direct translation in python (hence
the notorious MScriptUtils).

"const" means that the parameter is constant and the compiler will not allow
changing its value.
"&" is a reference to a particular parameter. If you call a function with a
parameter that is not a reference then a copy is made of what you passed
in. If it is a reference then basically the caller
