// Users should have in their  myPhyList.cc two lines that look like:
//     #include "EvtTimeShiftFactory.h"
//     TIMESHIFTREG(MyTimeShiftClass)  // no semicolon
// where "MyTimeShiftClass" is the name of the class (assuming no special namespace)
// If the class is defined in a namespace (or two) use:
//     #include "EvtTimeShiftFactory.h"
//     TIMESHIFTREG3(myspace,myAltTimeShift,myspace::myAltTimeShift) // no semicolon
//     TIMESHIFTREG4(myspace,evgb,YATimeShift,myspace::evgb::YATimeShift) // no semicolon

//     EvtTimeShiftFactory& factory =
//         EvtTimeShiftFactory::Instance();
