class TQCut: public TNamed

 Check whether the string passed is a valid cut name. Return
 true if name is valid and false otherwise. Valid cut names
 may contain the letters a..z, A..Z, 0..9 and an underscore "_".

 parse the definition of the cut and deploy the parsed fields in the argument pointers

 parse the definition of the cut and deploy the parsed fields in the argument references

 create a new TQCut from the given definition

 create a new TQCut from the given parameters

 import the cut from a folder created with TQCut::dumpToFolder(...)

import descendent cuts from

 default constructor, needed for streaming

 constructor taking additioinal arguments

 export all cut definitions as a TList

 set the base cut

 Return the base cut of this cut

 Return the path to this cut

 Return the base cut of this cut

 Return the root cut of this cut hierarchy

 print the evaluation steps for this cut expression
 on the currently active event
 WARNING: THIS FUNCTION ONLY MAKES SENSE FOR PROPERLY INITIALIZED CUTS
 IT WILL PRODUCE SEVERAL OUTPUT LINES FOR EACH EVENT - EXTREMELY VERBOSE!
 USE FOR DEBUGGING ONLY!

 add a cut defined by a string and return it

 add a cut defined by a string
 internally calles TQCut::addAndReturnCut

 add a given instance of TQCut to a basecut identified by name

 add a given instance of TQCut to a basecut identified by name

 returns true if this cut is mergeable, false otherwise

 try to consolidate the cut hierarchy
 this function attempts to merge as many cuts as possibel
 without obstructing any existing analysis jobs
 STILL IN EXPERIMENTAL STATE

 return the maximum depth of this cut (branch)

 return the width of this cut (number of immediate child cuts)

 sort the cut hierarchy
 this will have no effect on the results of the analysis
 however, it will reorganize the layout of the cut diagrams
 in such a way that a vertical structure is most eminent

 return true if this cut is trivally passed by every event

 return true if this cut is trivally failed by every event

 merge this cut with its base cut

 remove a cut from the cut hierarchy (by name)

 wrapper for the "print" function

 print the currently active cut expression for this cut and all parent cuts

 Print a summary of this cut instance. The following options my be specified:
 - "r" (default) also print a summary of descendant cuts

 dump the entire cut hierarchy to a TQFolder

 Return the cut matching "name". The hierarchy of cuts will be searched
 starting from this cut downwards. Please note: the result might be a null
 pointer, if no matching element can be found

 Add all cuts matching 'name' to the given TObjArray 'matchingCuts'. The
 syntax of matching cuts is borrowed from TQFolder: * matches any
 cuts/part of a cut name, ? matches exactly one cut level in the cut
 hierarchy.

give the cut name as the input (e.g. GGF_0jet_*) and get all the cutnames which starts with GGF_0jet_ as a result in form of a vector.

 Propagate getMatchingCuts to all attached cuts.

 Same as getMatchingCuts(TObjArray& matchingCuts, const TString& name),
 but name is a tokenized by the directory delimiter.
 If offset != 0, it means that the first segments have already been
 parsed.

 check if residual parts are optional

 Return the list of descendant cuts of this instance

 Return the list of analysis jobs at this cut

 set the internal list of descendant cuts to something different

 print the list of analysis jobs directly appended to this cut

 Return a list of all cuts in the hierarchy of cuts starting
 from this cut downwards

 add the branches needed by this cut to the internal branch list

 collect all used branch names from cuts, weights and analysis jobs
 and return then in a TObjArray* of TObjString

 add a new analysis job to this cut
 and any descendent cuts matching the string

 Execute analysis jobs attached to this cut instance. The parameter
 "weight" will be propagated to the job's execute(...) methods.
 Returns true if every job's execute(...) method returned true and
 false otherwise

 Return the number of analysis jobs attached to
 this cut

 checks if the currently investigated event passes this cut

 checks if the currently investigated event passes this cut and all parent cuts

 retrieve the weight assigned to the current event at this cut

 retrieve the weight assigned to the current event by this cut and all parent cuts

 skips the analysis jobs for some folder

 returns true if this cut is a descendant of the cut identified by the name given as argument
 returns false otherwise

returns the number of variants folders created or -1 in case of an error

 publicly accessible interface

 initialize this cut and all observables on the given sample folder

 returns true if this cut was previously initialized on this sample folder

 finalize this cut and all observables on the given sample folder

 destructor

 clear all analysis jobs from this cut

 Return the cut matching "name". The hierarchy of cuts will be searched
 starting from this cut downwards. Please note: the result might be a null
 pointer, if no matching element can be found
 The difference between this function and getCut() is that this function
 will return TQCut with standalone single cut (all the hierarchy collapsed
 down to the cut requested.)

 retrieve the sample currently assigned to this cut

 return a clone of this cut (and all descendants)

 return a clone of this cut (and all descendants)

 apply this cut and execute the analyis jobs appended to this cut

baseWeight is only used if no valid preceedingResults_ is given (i.e. if it's a nullptr).
In this case reset our own VariantResult member to baseWeight and use it as
preceedingWeights. Note that this means we may not edit the pass/weight values more than once!
