// This algorithm is designed to find small clusters that could correspond to gammas
// or low energy electrons.
//
/*      There are two parameters that matter from the fcl file:
                fNHitsInClust is the number of hits that should be in these small clusters
                        ^-- Gamma events seem to rarely have more than 4 hits in the cluster
                        ^-- SN events are unclear.  Should this even be used for SN?
                fRadiusSizePar is the distance (in cm) between the small clusters and any other hits.

        This algorithm sorts the hits by plane, and then looks at each hit individually.  If
        there is a hit within RadiusSizePar, it gets added to a local list.  All other hits
        are ignored.  Then, if the number of hits that got added to the local list is greater
        then NHitsInClust, the original hit is ignored.  If it's less, the original hit is
        presumed to be part of a very small (or single hit) cluster.  So its added to the list
        of hits in the small cluster.

        All of the small clusters are then split apart into groups in the way you would expect.
        Each cluster is assigned an ID number to distinguish it, and the hits that aren't
        identified as small clusters all end up in the "leftover" cluster.  The numbering scheme
        is ID = 100*iPlane + Cluster on that plane, and the leftover hits are the first (0th)
        cluster written out.
