// Stage Bosses are "big" boss enemies used in some stages.
//
// The stage boss class runs at a conceptual level "above"
// normal AI routines, more like at the level of the game loop.
//
// This gives these complex bosses a good way to control more
// things than just a single object (some bosses for example have
// multiple parts which need to be coordinated, such as Omega).
//
// A pointer to the "main" object of a stage boss is stored by
// the derived class at game.stageboss.object.
//
// The script command <BSL0000 refers to opening a boss bar
// against game.stageboss.object.
