//______________________________________________________________________________
//
// TVirtualBranchBrowsable is a base class (not really abstract, but useless
// by itself) for helper objects that extend TBranch's browsing support.
// Each registered derived class's generator method is called, which fills
// all created helper objects into a list which can then be browsed.
// For details of what these browser helper objects can do, see e.g. 
// TMethodBrowsable, which allows methods to show up in the TBrowser.
//
// Only registered helper objects are created. By default, only 
// TMethodBrowsable, TNonSplitBrowsable, and TCollectionPropertyBrowsable
// are registered (see RegisterDefaultGenerators). You can prevent any of 
// their objects to show up in the browser by unregistering the generator:
//   TMethodBrowsable::Unregister()
// will stop creating browsable method helper objects from that call on.
// Note that these helper objects are cached (in TBranch::fBrowsables);
// already created (and thus cached) browsables will still appear in the
// browser even after unregistering the corresponding generator.
//
// You can implement your own browsable objects and thier generator; see
// e.g. the simple TCollectionPropertyBrowsable. Note that you will have
// to register your generator just like any other, and that you should 
// implement the following methods for your own class, mainly for 
// consistency reasons:
//   static void Register() { 
//     TVirtualBranchBrowsable::RegisterGenerator(GetBrowsables); }
//   static void Unregister() { 
//     TVirtualBranchBrowsable::UnregisterGenerator(GetBrowsables); }
// where GetBrowsables is a static member function of your class, that 
// creates the browsable helper objects, and has the signature
//   static Int_t GetBrowsables(TList& list, const TBranch* branch,
//                              const TVirtualBranchBrowsable* parent=0);
// It has to return the number of browsable helper objects for parent
// (or, if NULL, for branch) which are added to the list.
