     * A Container is a nestable display list that allows you to work with compound display elements. For  example you could
     * group arm, leg, torso and head {{#crossLink "Bitmap"}}{{/crossLink}} instances together into a Person Container, and
     * transform them as a group, while still being able to move the individual parts relative to each other. Children of
     * containers have their <code>transform</code> and <code>alpha</code> properties concatenated with their parent
     * Container.
     *
     * For example, a {{#crossLink "Shape"}}{{/crossLink}} with x=100 and alpha=0.5, placed in a Container with <code>x=50</code>
     * and <code>alpha=0.7</code> will be rendered to the canvas at <code>x=150</code> and <code>alpha=0.35</code>.
     * Containers have some overhead, so you generally shouldn't create a Container to hold a single child.
     *
     * <h4>Example</h4>
     *
     *      var container = new createjs.Container();
     *      container.addChild(bitmapInstance, shapeInstance);
