// Then it modifies the configuration stored at the CP, and forces all 
// algorithms stored at the AP to reconfigure themselves.

// Reconfiguring common pool objects makes it easier to guarantee consistency:
// Eg say that you have a low-level algorithm stored at the AP that is 
// referenced by many higher-level objects, also stored at the AP.
// Reconfiguring this instance of the low-level algorithms **automatically**
// guarantees that all high-level algorithms use the reconfigured version.
// This does *not* require you to know which high-level algorithms are
// pointing to which low-level algorithms which is typically difficult to
// keep track of

// of) them from the AlgFactory pool to a local pool. The owned algorithms are 
// also forced to take ownership of their configurations. All the configuration 
// variables are bundled together at the top level algorithms' configuration.
//
// Having a group of algorithms/configurations behaving as a monolithic block, 
// with a single point of configuration (the top level) is to be used when bits 
// & pieces of GENIE are used in isolation for data fitting or reweighting
//
// For more details and information on the naming convention used when all
// sub-algorithms configurations are merged to the top level algorithm config
// see the Algorithm package
