/**
 * \class AliHLTTriggerDomain
 * The trigger domain class is the set of HLT raw data block types that should
 * be readout and sent to HLTOUT.
 * It is implemented as a list of domain entries, where each domain entry is
 * like a rule, or pattern to match against. When trying to decide if a given
 * data block falls within the trigger domain, i.e. is part of the readout, the
 * domain entries are applied one after the other from top to bottom. Two kinds
 * of domain entries, inclusive and exclusive are possible, which indicate if a
 * data block type or range, is part of the trigger domain or not. As we process
 * the domain entries we update our decision of whether the data block is part
 * of the trigger domain or not. If the domain entry is an inclusion then we update
 * the decision to true, if it is an exclusion then we update the decision to false.
 * The value of the result after applying the last domain entry then indicates
 * if the data block is part of the trigger domain or not.
 * In this way we can specify trigger domains as sets to arbitrary complexity
 * and manipulate them as mathematical sets accordingly.
 *
 * The other feature of the AliHLTTriggerDomain class is that it overloads the
 * following operators to provide set like behaviour:
 *   |  this provides the set union operation (The + operator does the same).
 *   &  this provides the set intersect operation.
 *   -  this provides the set difference operation.
 *   ^  this provides an exclusive or (xor) operation. i.e. given two sets A and B
 *        the result C is given by:
 *        C = {x : x elf A and not x elf B, or x elf B and not x elf A}
 *        where 'elf' means "is an element of".
 *   ~  this returns the set complement.
 * These operators then allow expressions to be formed from trigger domain objects
 * which behave like sets.
