\ingroup Roofitcore
 
RooAbsCollection is an abstract container object that can hold
multiple RooAbsArg objects.  Collections are ordered and can
contain multiple objects of the same name, (but a derived
implementation can enforce unique names). The storage of objects is
implemented using the container denoted by RooAbsCollection::Storage_t.
