//
// MTaskList
//
// Collection of tasks.
//
// A tasklist is necessary to run the eventloop. It contains the scheduled
// tasks, which should be executed in your program.
//
// To add a task use AddToList.
//
// The tasklist itself is a task, too. You can add a tasklist to another
// tasklist. This makes sense, if you want to filter the execution of
// more than one task of your tasklist using the same filter.
//
// The tasks in the list are idetified by their names. If more than one
// task has the same name, the tasklist will still work correctly, but
// you might run into trouble trying to get a pointer to a task by name
// from the list.
//
// Remark: The Process function is only executed if the class of your task
//         overloads Process() or if the task itself is a MTask. This
//         means if you have a task without Process() (only PreProcess
//         and PostProcess no time is lost during execution)
//
// Warning:
//  Be carefull if you are writing your tasklist
//  (eg. MWriteRootFile("file.root", "MTaskList")) to a file. You may
//  not be able to initialize a new working tasklist from a file if
//   a) Two Paramerer containers with the same names are existing in the
//      MParList.
//   b) You used a container somewhere which is not part of MParList.
//      (eg. You specified a pointer to a MH container in MFillH which is
//      not added to the parameter list.
