Detailed Description

Write and read STL vectors with RNTuple.

Adapted from the hvector tree tutorial.

 
// NOTE: The RNTuple classes are experimental at this point.
// Functionality, interface, and data format is still subject to changes.
// Do not use for real data!
 
// Until C++ runtime modules are universally used, we explicitly load the ntuple library.  Otherwise
// triggering autoloading from the use of templated types would require an exhaustive enumeration
// of "all" template instances in the LinkDef file.
