## Use the "trivial data source", an example data source implementation.
##
## This tutorial illustrates how use the RDataFrame in combination with a
## RDataSource. In this case we use a TTrivialDS, which is nothing more
## than a simple generator: it does not interface to any existing dataset.
## The TTrivialDS has a single column, col0, which has value n for entry n.
