// The extensible factory also allows for the extension of lists by adding
// (using "+" as a separator) or replacing (using "_" as a separator)
// specific physics constructors.  These can be specified by
// pre-defining a short name (e.g. RADIO for G4RadioactiveDecayPhysics) or
// providing the full class name.

// Implementation note (non-Doxygen):
// The public API and semantics are documented in gphysics.h. This translation unit focuses on:
// - Reading options
// - Instantiating the requested reference physics list using the Geant4 extensible factory
// - Registering default add-on constructors
