		Node that instances a [MultiMesh] in 2D.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		[MultiMeshInstance2D] is a specialized node to instance a [MultiMesh] resource in 2D. This can be faster to render compared to displaying many [Sprite2D] nodes with large transparent areas, especially if the nodes take up a lot of space on screen at high viewport resolutions. This is because using a mesh designed to fit the sprites' opaque areas will reduce GPU fill rate utilization (at the cost of increased vertex processing utilization).
		Usage is the same as [MultiMeshInstance3D].
