class	GDataCollection
	Per-sensitive-detector container that owns truth and digitized data objects. More...

Detailed Description

GDataCollection is the detector-local aggregation unit used by higher-level containers. One instance usually corresponds to one sensitive detector entry and stores:

truth-side objects of type GTrueInfoData
digitized objects of type GDigitizedData

It supports two distinct usage patterns.

Event mode:

append one truth object and/or one digitized object per hit
ownership of inserted objects is transferred to this container

Integrated mode:

accumulate many contributions into the first stored entry of each vector
truth accumulation currently merges only floating-point truth variables
digitized accumulation currently merges only non-SRO scalar observables

Design notes:

the class does not require truth and digitized vectors to have matching sizes
detector naming is managed by higher-level maps such as those in GEventDataCollection and GRunDataCollection
vector index meaning depends on whether the object is used in event or integrated mode
