#very simple EventSelection class aimed at demonstrating the 
#typical implementation of an EventSelection class

#On purpose, the categories are not in any "logical" order, and there is some redundant check when testing the category.
#This is mostly for illustration.

#   event.muons
#   event.electrons
#   event.jets
