 * @description
 * A THREE loader for PLY ASCII files (known as the Polygon File Format or the Stanford Triangle Format).
 *
 * Limitations: ASCII decoding assumes file is UTF-8.
 *
 * @example
 * var loader = new THREE.PLYLoader();
 * loader.load('./models/ply/ascii/dolphins.ply', function (geometry) {
 *     scene.add( new THREE.Mesh( geometry ) );
 * } );
 *
 * // If the PLY file uses non standard property names, they can be mapped while
 * // loading. For example, the following maps the properties
 * // “diffuse_(red|green|blue)” in the file to standard color names.
 *
 * loader.setPropertyNameMapping( {
 *     diffuse_red: 'red',
 *     diffuse_green: 'green',
 *     diffuse_blue: 'blue'
 * } );
 *
