        **
        **    This function returns whether or not the mesh is deformable.
        **
        **    The position of vertices in a deformable mesh may shift from
        **    frame to frame and therefore should not be put into a
        **    renderer-specific object that cannot be updated.  (For example,
        **    vertex buffer objects in OpenGL.)
        **
        **    The position of vertices in a non-deformable, non-skinned mesh
        **    remain fixed from frame to frame.
        **
        **    Though they sound similar, skinned meshes and deformable meshes
        **    are different.  The vertices in a deformable mesh have already
        **    been transformed when the draw() function is called; nothing
        **    more needs to be done.  The vertices in a skinned mesh are not
        **    ready to be drawn, as they must first be transformed by a
        **    shader.
        **
        *b  Returns:

        **    1 if mesh is deformable, 0 if not, -1 on failure
