/** \class MultiTransform
 * \brief This abstract class contains a list of transforms and provides basic methods.
 *
 * This abstract base class is used by classes that operate on a list of
 * sub-transforms. The sub-transforms can have a different dimensionality
 * than the container transform.
 *
 * Transforms are stored in a container (queue), in the following order:
 *    \f$ T_0, T_1, ... , T_N-1 \f$
 *
 * Transforms are added via a single method, AddTransform(). This adds the
 * transforms to the back of the queue. A single method for adding transforms
 * is meant to simplify the interface and prevent errors.
 *
 * Inverse
 *  todo
 *
 * TODO
 *
 * Interface Issues/Comments
 * x The PushFrontTransform and PushBackTransform methods are protected to
 *   force the user to use the AddTransform method, forcing the order of
 *   transforms. Are there use cases where the user would *need* to insert
 *   transforms at the front of the queue? Or at arbitrary positions?
 *
 * GetParameters efficiency optimization
 *  Can we optimize this to only query the sub-transforms when the params
 *  in the sub transforms have changed since the previous call? Can't use
 *  Modified time b/c that will get updated in sub-transforms with every
 *  call to SetParameters. Is this worth worrying about? i.e. how much time
 *  will it take in the overall registration process? Probably very little.
