/** API class for the user interaction with the parameters;
    serves as input to the minimizer as well as output from it;
    users can interact: Fix/release parameters, set values and errors, etc.;
    parameters can be accessed via their Parameter number (determined 
    internally by Minuit and followed the order how the parameters are created) 
    or via their user-specified Name (10 character string). 
    Minuit has also an internal parameter number which is used during the minimization
    (the fix parameter are skipped). The parameter number used in this class is the external 
    one. The class ROOT::Minuit2::MnUserTransformation is used to keep the 
    internal <-> external transformation
