// Strategy for reading or writing events/particleData as machine readable
//  ascii to a file. When instantiating, 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_Ascii-START_EVENT_LISTING\n"
//  and terminated by the key:
//  "HepMC::IO_Ascii-END_EVENT_LISTING\n"
// GenParticle Data tables are preceded by the key:
//  "HepMC::IO_Ascii-START_PARTICLE_DATA\n"
//  and terminated by the key:
//  "HepMC::IO_Ascii-END_PARTICLE_DATA\n"
// Comments are allowed. They need not be preceded by anything, though if
//  a comment is written using write_comment( const string ) then it will be
//  preceded by "HepMC::IO_Ascii-COMMENT\n"
// Each event, vertex, particle, particle data is preceded by 
//  "E ","V ","P ","D "    respectively.
// Comments may appear anywhere in the file -- so long as they do not contain
//  any of the 4 start/stop keys.
