//______________________________________________________________________________
//
// A TFolder object is a collection of objects and folders.
// Folders have a name and a title and are identified in the folder hierarchy
// by a "Unix-like" naming mechanism. The root of all folders is //root.
// New folders can be dynamically added or removed to/from a folder.
// The folder hierarchy can be visualized via the TBrowser.
//
// The Root folders hierarchy can be seen as a whiteboard where objects
// are posted. Other classes/tasks can access these objects by specifying
// only a string pathname. This whiteboard facility greatly improves the
// modularity of an application, minimizing the class relationship problem
// that penalizes large applications.
//
// Pointers are efficient to communicate between classes.
// However, one has interest to minimize direct coupling between classes
// in the form of direct pointers. One better uses the naming and search
// service provided by the Root folders hierarchy. This makes the classes
// loosely coupled and also greatly facilitates I/O operations.
// In a client/server environment, this mechanism facilitates the access
// to any kind of object in //root stores running on different processes.
//
// A TFolder is created by invoking the TFolder constructor. It is placed
// inside an existing folder via the TFolder::AddFolder method.
// One can search for a folder or an object in a folder using the FindObject
// method. FindObject analyzes the string passed as its argument and searches
// in the hierarchy until it finds an object or folder matching the name.
//
// When a folder is deleted, its reference from the parent folder and
// possible other folders is deleted.
//
// If a folder has been declared the owner of its objects/folders via
// TFolder::SetOwner, then the contained objects are deleted when the
// folder is deleted. By default, a folder does not own its contained objects.
// NOTE that folder ownership can be set
//   - via TFolder::SetOwner
//   - or via TCollection::SetOwner on the collection specified to TFolder::AddFolder
//
// Standard Root objects are automatically added to the folder hierarchy.
// For example, the following folders exist:
//   //root/Files      with the list of currently connected Root files
//   //root/Classes    with the list of active classes
//   //root/Geometries with active geometries
//   //root/Canvases   with the list of active canvases
//   //root/Styles     with the list of graphics styles
//   //root/Colors     with the list of active colors
//
// For example, if a file "myFile.root" is added to the list of files, one can
// retrieve a pointer to the corresponding TFile object with a statement like:
//   TFile *myFile = (TFile*)gROOT->FindObject("//root/Files/myFile.root");
// The above statement can be abbreviated to:
//   TFile *myFile = (TFile*)gROOT->FindObject("/Files/myFile.root");
// or even to:
//   TFile *myFile = (TFile*)gROOT->FindObjectAny("myFile.root");
// In this last case, the TROOT::FindObjectAny function will scan the folder hierarchy
// starting at //root and will return the first object named "myFile.root".
//
// Because a string-based search mechanism is expensive, it is recommended
// to save the pointer to the object as a class member or local variable
// if this pointer is used frequently or inside loops.
