class TRefTable: public TObject


A TRefTable maintains the association between a referenced object
and the parent object supporting this referenced object.

The parent object is typically a branch of a TTree. For each object
referenced in a TTree entry, the corresponding entry in the TTree's
TBranchRef::fRefTable contains the index of the branch that
needs to be loaded to bring the object into memory.

Persistency of a TRefTable is split into two parts:
* entry specific information is stored (read) by FillBuffer
(ReadBuffer). For each referenced object the object's fUniqueID
and the referencing TRef::fPID is stored (to allow the TRefTable
to autoload references created by different processes).
* non-entry specific, i.e. global information is stored (read) by
the Streamer function. This comprises all members marked as
persistent.

As TObject::fUniqueID is only unique for a given TProcessID, a table
of unique IDs is kept for each used TProcessID. There is no natural
order of TProcessIDs, so TRefTable stores a vector of the TGUID of
all known TProcessIDs in fProcessGUIDs; the index of a TProcessID in
this vector defines the index of the auto-loading info in fParentIDs
for that TProcessID. The mapping of TProcessID* to index is cached
for quick non-persistent lookup.
