/**
 *  \class QwRootFile
 *  \ingroup QwAnalysis
 *  \brief A wrapper class for a ROOT file or memory mapped file
 *
 * This class functions as a wrapper around a ROOT TFile or a TMapFile.  The
 * common inheritance of both is only TObject, so there is a lot that we have
 * to wrap (rather than inherit).  Theoretically you could have both a TFile
 * and a TMapFile represented by an object of this class at the same time, but
 * that is untested.
 *
 * The functionality of writing to the file is done by templated functions.
 * The objects that are passed to these functions have to provide the following
 * functions:
 * <ul>
 * <li>ConstructHistograms, FillHistograms
 * <li>ConstructBranchAndVector, FillTreeVector
 * </ul>
 *
 * The class keeps track of the registered tree names, and the types of objects
 * that have branches constructed in those trees (via QwRootTree).  In most
 * cases it should be possible to just call FillTreeBranches with only the object,
 * although in rare cases this could be ambiguous.
 *
 * The proper way to register a tree is by either calling ConstructTreeBranches
 * of NewTree first.  Then FillTreeBranches will fill the vector, and FillTree
 * will actually fill the tree.  FillTree should be called only once.
