/** \class TVirtualBranchBrowsable
\ingroup tree
 
TVirtualBranchBrowsable is a base class (not really abstract, but useless
by itself) for helper objects that extend TBranch's browsing support.
Each registered derived class's generator method is called, which fills
all created helper objects into a list which can then be browsed.
For details of what these browser helper objects can do, see e.g.
TMethodBrowsable, which allows methods to show up in the TBrowser.
 
Only registered helper objects are created. By default, only
TMethodBrowsable, TNonSplitBrowsable, and TCollectionPropertyBrowsable
are registered (see RegisterDefaultGenerators). You can prevent any of
their objects to show up in the browser by unregistering the generator:
~~~ {.cpp}
    TMethodBrowsable::Unregister()
~~~
will stop creating browsable method helper objects from that call on.
Note that these helper objects are cached (in TBranch::fBrowsables);
already created (and thus cached) browsables will still appear in the
browser even after unregistering the corresponding generator.
 
You can implement your own browsable objects and thier generator; see
e.g. the simple TCollectionPropertyBrowsable. Note that you will have
to register your generator just like any other, and that you should
implement the following methods for your own class, mainly for
consistency reasons:
~~~ {.cpp}
    static void Register() {
      TVirtualBranchBrowsable::RegisterGenerator(GetBrowsables); }
    static void Unregister() {
      TVirtualBranchBrowsable::UnregisterGenerator(GetBrowsables); }
~~~
where GetBrowsables is a static member function of your class, that
creates the browsable helper objects, and has the signature
~~~ {.cpp}
    static Int_t GetBrowsables(TList& list, const TBranch* branch,
                               const TVirtualBranchBrowsable* parent=0);
~~~
 
It has to return the number of browsable helper objects for parent
(or, if NULL, for branch) which are added to the list.
