Disable Shared Nodes for Specific Node Types in Hierarchy Sets

Shared nodes can be limited to specific node types in a hierarchy set rather than allowing them for all node types or none of them.  When the Allow Shared Nodes parameter is enabled in the hierarchy set inspector, you can individually disallow shared nodes for selected node types using the Disable Sharing option.  Using this option will produce a validation issue for nodes of that type where explicit shared node relationships are encountered.  Implicit shared node instances that are descendants of an explicit shared node relationship are not prevented by the Disable Sharing option for a given node type in a hierarchy set.

Business Benefit: Hierarchies using multiple types of nodes can have shared nodes restricted to only certain node types and prevent other node types from permitting them.
