// This is a simple test program.
// It illustrates how either
// (a) B decays (sections marked "Repeated decays:), or
// (b) all hadronization (sections marked "Repeated hadronization:")
// could be repeated a number of times for each event,
// to improve statistics when this could be a problem.
// Option (a) is faster than (b), but less generic.

// Note 1: the compartmentalization of hadronization in forceHadronLevel
// from the rest of the event processing somewhat limits the ways the
// program can retry in case of problems, and so an occasional abort
// may occur more easily than normally.

// Note 2: for simple cases, where it is only one particle that is to be
// decayed repeatedly, the event[i].undoDecay() method is handy.
// When used for several particles, remember that the position of
// some particles may be moved by the undoDecay step.
