[x3d-public] Turning on and off simultaneous animations individually

[John Carlson]

Would it be possible to put an animation’s ROUTEs in a Switch that could be
toggled on and off with a boolean toggle?

Google AI says:

Yes, you can absolutely put "ROUTE" nodes within a "Switch" node in X3D; in
fact, it's a common practice to use them together to dynamically control
which set of connections (via ROUTE) are active depending on which child
node of the Switch is currently selected.

I didn’t realize that statements were affected by Switch.
