// TTreeFormula now relies on a variety of TFormLeafInfo classes to handle the
// reading of the information.  Here is the list of theses classes:
//   TFormLeafInfo
//   TFormLeafInfoDirect
//   TFormLeafInfoNumerical
//   TFormLeafInfoClones
//   TFormLeafInfoCollection
//   TFormLeafInfoPointer
//   TFormLeafInfoMethod
//   TFormLeafInfoMultiVarDim
//   TFormLeafInfoMultiVarDimDirect
//   TFormLeafInfoCast
//
// The following method are available from the TFormLeafInfo interface:
//
//  AddOffset(Int_t offset, TStreamerElement* element)
//  GetCounterValue(TLeaf* leaf) : return the size of the array pointed to.
//  GetObjectAddress(TLeafElement* leaf) : Returns the the location of the object pointed to.
//  GetMultiplicity() : Returns info on the variability of the number of elements
//  GetNdata(TLeaf* leaf) : Returns the number of elements
//  GetNdata() : Used by GetNdata(TLeaf* leaf)
//  GetValue(TLeaf *leaf, Int_t instance = 0) : Return the value
//  GetValuePointer(TLeaf *leaf, Int_t instance = 0) : Returns the address of the value
//  GetLocalValuePointer(TLeaf *leaf, Int_t instance = 0) : Returns the address of the value of 'this' LeafInfo
//  IsString()
//  ReadValue(char *where, Int_t instance = 0) : Internal function to interpret the location 'where'
//  Update() : react to the possible loading of a shared library.
//
