Detailed Description

This single instance class takes track of all open ROOT files open in "create" mode, usually meant for all the ntuple output modules.

Multiple different users can use the same file if they provide the same filename. Currently there is no path name manipulation so "test.root" and "./test.root" are not the same filename. Please keep the shared_ptr returned by this class as long as you need the file to stay open. Temporary objects might not work.

The files are created and managed by this class. They get destroyed when the last user is freeing its copy. Users of this module should free their files in the terminate() function by just calling reset() on the shared_ptr.
