+    Warning for parent attribute overrides:
+        Attributes that have render layer overrides to their parent attribute
+        are not captured correctly since they do not have a direct connection.
+        For example, an override to sphere.rotate when querying sphere.rotateX
+        will not return correctly!

     Note: This is much faster for Maya's renderLayer system, yet the code
         does no optimized query for render setup.
