//============================================================================
// Consumer is the base class for all module types that retrieve
// products.  See below for guidance as to which interface should be
// called for a given context.
//
// N.B. All 'consumes*' or 'mayConsume*' calls should be done in a
//      module's constructor, before processing any beginJob
//      callbacks.
//
// Unconditional retrieval of products
// -----------------------------------
//
// For products that are always intended to be retrieved for a given
// module execution, the 'consumes' family of calls should be invoked
// in a user's module constructor (e.g.):
//
//   consumes<int>(input_tag);     // => ProductToken<int>
//   consumesMany<int>();          // => void
//   consumesView<int>(input_tag); // => ViewToken<int>
//
// Making such calls tells the framework that the particular module in
// question will make the following product retrievals (e.g.):
//
//   e.getValidHandle<int>(input_tag);
//   e.getManyByType<int>();
//   art::View<int> v;
//   e.getView(input_tag, v);
//
// The returned type of the consumes calls are shown above.  To
// eventually facilitate faster product lookup, the returned tokens
// can be supplied by the user (e.g.):
//
//   ProductToken<int> intToken_; // data member of module class
//   e.getValidHandle(intToken_); // => ValidHandle<int>
//
//   ViewToken<int> viewToken_; // data member of module class
//   std::vector<int const*> v;
//   e.getView(viewToken_, v);
//
// The consumesMany function template does not return a token.
//
// Conditional retrieval of products
// ---------------------------------
//
// If there are situations in which a product *may* be retrieved
// (e.g. within an 'if' block), then the *mayConsume* interface should
// be considered instead of the consumes interface:
//
//   mayConsume<int>(input_tag); // => ProductToken<int>
//   mayConsumeMany<int>();      // => void
//   mayConsumeView<int>();      // => ViewToken<int>
//
// The return types of the functions are the same as their 'consumes'
// partners for unconditional product retrieving.  However, how the
// tokens are used by the framework may be different than how they are
// used in the 'consumes' case.

// Retrieving products in non-module contexts
// ------------------------------------------
//
// There are cases where products are retrieved in non-module
// contexts.  Although such product retrieval is not forbidden, it is
// not a generally recommended usage pattern.  The 'consumes'
// interface is, therefore, not supported in non-module contexts.
