/// Strategy for reading or writing events using iostreams
/// When instantiating with a file name, the mode of file to be created 
///  must be specified. Options are:
///      std::ios::in     open file for input 
///      std::ios::out    open file for output
///      std::ios::trunc  erase old file when opening (i.e. ios::out|ios::trunc
///                    removes oldfile, and creates a new one for output )
///      std::ios::app    append output to end of file
///  for the purposes of this class, simultaneous input and output mode 
///  ( std::ios::in | std::ios::out ) is not allowed.
/// 
/// Event listings are preceded by the key:
///  "HepMC::IO_GenEvent-START_EVENT_LISTING\n"
///  and terminated by the key:
///  "HepMC::IO_GenEvent-END_EVENT_LISTING\n"
/// GenParticle Data tables are preceded by the key:
///  "HepMC::IO_GenEvent-START_PARTICLE_DATA\n"
///  and terminated by the key:
///  "HepMC::IO_GenEvent-END_PARTICLE_DATA\n"

///  a comment is written using write_comment( const string ) then it will be
///  preceded by "HepMC::IO_GenEvent-COMMENT\n"
/// Each event, vertex, particle, particle data, heavy ion, or pdf info line
///  is preceded by   "E ","V ","P ","D ","H ","F "    respectively.
/// Comments may appear anywhere in the file -- so long as they do not contain
///  any of the start/stop keys.
