/// @brief Object that encapsulates compiled AX code which can be executed on a
///   collection of VDB Point Data grids. Executables are created by the
///   compiler and hold the final immutable JIT compiled function and context.
/// @details  The PointExecutable is returned from the ax::Compiler when
///   compiling AX code for point execution. The class represents a typical AX
///   executable object; immutable except for execution settings and implements
///   'execute' functions which can be called multiple times for arbitrary sets
///   of inputs. The intended usage of these executables is to configure their
///   runtime arguments and then call PointExecutable::execute with your VDBs.
///   For example:
/// @code
///   PointExecutable::Ptr exe = compiler.compile<PointExecutable>("@a += 1");
///   exe->setCreateMissing(false); // fail on missing attributes
///   exe->setGroupExecution("group1"); // only process points in group1
///   exe->execute(vdbs); // run on a set of vdb point data grids
///   exe->execute(points); // run on a single point data grid
/// @endcode
///
///   The setCreateMissing is initialised with specific configurable settings:
///   - Create Missing: True
///       By default, create any missing attributes that were accessed
///       @sa setCreateMissing
///   - Group Execution: All
///       By default, process all points regardless of their group membership
///       @sa setGroupExecution
///   - Grain size: 1
///       The default grain sizes passed to the tbb partitioner for leaf level
///       processing.
///       @sa setGrainSize
///
///  For more in depth information, see the @ref vdbaxcompilerexe documentation.
