   /// Helper object provided by the caller. The required interface for the helper is described below (more
   /// methods that the ones required can be present, e.g. a constructor that takes the number of worker threads is usually useful):
   ///
   /// ### Mandatory interface
   ///
   /// * `Helper` must publicly inherit from `ROOT::Detail::RDF::RActionImpl<Helper>`
   /// * `Helper::Result_t`: public alias for the type of the result of this action helper. `Result_t` must be default-constructible.
   /// * `Helper(Helper &&)`: a move-constructor is required. Copy-constructors are discouraged.
   /// * `std::shared_ptr<Result_t> GetResultPtr() const`: return a shared_ptr to the result of this action (of type
   ///   Result_t). The RResultPtr returned by Book will point to this object. Note that this method can be called
   ///   _before_ Initialize(), because the RResultPtr is constructed before the event loop is started.
   /// * `void Initialize()`: this method is called once before starting the event-loop. Useful for setup operations.
   ///   It must reset the state of the helper to the expected state at the beginning of the event loop: the same helper,
   ///   or copies of it, might be used for multiple event loops (e.g. in the presence of systematic variations).
   /// * `void InitTask(TTreeReader *, unsigned int slot)`: each working thread shall call this method during the event
   ///   loop, before processing a batch of entries. The pointer passed as argument, if not null, will point to the TTreeReader
   ///   that RDataFrame has set up to read the task's batch of entries. It is passed to the helper to allow certain advanced optimizations
   ///   it should not usually serve any purpose for the Helper. This method is often no-op for simple helpers.
   /// * `void Exec(unsigned int slot, ColumnTypes...columnValues)`: each working thread shall call this method
   ///   during the event-loop, possibly concurrently. No two threads will ever call Exec with the same 'slot' value:
   ///   this parameter is there to facilitate writing thread-safe helpers. The other arguments will be the values of
   ///   the requested columns for the particular entry being processed.
   /// * `void Finalize()`: this method is called at the end of the event loop. Commonly used to finalize the contents of the result.
   /// * `std::string GetActionName()`: it returns a string identifier for this type of action that RDataFrame will use in
   ///    diagnostics, SaveGraph(), etc.
   ///
   /// ### Optional methods
   ///
   /// If these methods are implemented they enable extra functionality as per the description below.
   ///
   /// * `Result_t &PartialUpdate(unsigned int slot)`: if present, it must return the value of the partial result of this action for the given 'slot'.
   ///   Different threads might call this method concurrently, but will do so with different 'slot' numbers.
   ///   RDataFrame leverages this method to implement RResultPtr::OnPartialResult().
   /// * `ROOT::RDF::SampleCallback_t GetSampleCallback()`: if present, it must return a callable with the
   ///   appropriate signature (see ROOT::RDF::SampleCallback_t) that will be invoked at the beginning of the processing
   ///   of every sample, as in DefinePerSample().
   /// * `Helper MakeNew(void *newResult)`: if implemented, it enables varying the action's result with VariationsFor(). It takes a
   ///   type-erased new result that can be safely cast to a `std::shared_ptr<Result_t> *` (a pointer to shared pointer) and should
   ///   be used as the action's output result.
   ///
   /// In case Book is called without specifying column types as template arguments, corresponding typed code will be just-in-time compiled
   /// by RDataFrame. In that case the Helper class needs to be known to the ROOT interpreter.
   ///
   /// This action is *lazy*: upon invocation of this method the calculation is booked but not executed. Also see RResultPtr.
   ///
   /// ### Examples
   /// See [this tutorial](https://root.cern/doc/master/df018__customActions_8C.html) for an example implementation of an action helper.
   ///
   /// It is also possible to inspect the code used by built-in RDataFrame actions at ActionHelpers.hxx.
