    @remarks
        To allow the OverlayElement types available for inclusion on 
        overlays to be extended, OGRE allows external apps or plugins
        to register their ability to create custom OverlayElements with
        the OverlayManager, using the addOverlayElementFactory method. Classes
        wanting to do this must implement this interface.
    @par
        Each OverlayElementFactory creates a single type of OverlayElement, 
        identified by a 'type name' which must be unique.
