/// If addr is zero, then we allocate a branch object
/// internally and the branch is the owner of the allocated
/// object, not the caller.  However the caller may obtain
/// a pointer to the branch object with GetObject().
/// The pointer is reset to zero (nullptr) when the relevant
/// branch object is destroyed.
///
/// Example:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     branch->SetAddress(0);
///     Event* event = branch->GetObject();
///     ... Do some work.
/// ~~~
/// If addr is not zero, but the pointer addr points at is
/// zero, then we allocate a branch object and set the passed
/// pointer to point at the allocated object.  The caller
/// owns the allocated object and is responsible for deleting
/// it when it is no longer needed.
///
/// Example:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     Event* event = 0;
///     branch->SetAddress(&event);
///     ... Do some work.
///     delete event;
///     event = 0;
/// ~~~
/// If addr is not zero and the pointer addr points at is
/// also not zero, then the caller has allocated a branch
/// object and is asking us to use it.  The caller owns it
/// and must delete it when it is no longer needed.
///
/// Example:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     Event* event = new Event();
///     branch->SetAddress(&event);
///     ... Do some work.
///     delete event;
///     event = 0;
/// ~~~
/// These rules affect users of TTree::Branch(),
/// TTree::SetBranchAddress(), and TChain::SetBranchAddress()
/// as well because those routines call this one.
///
/// An example of a tree with branches with objects allocated
/// and owned by us:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     TFile* f1 = new TFile("myfile_original.root");
///     TTree* t1 = (TTree*) f->Get("MyTree");
///     TFile* f2 = new TFile("myfile_copy.root", "recreate");
///     TTree* t2 = t1->Clone(0);
///     for (Int_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
///        t1->GetEntry(i);
///        t2->Fill();
///     }
///     t2->Write()
///     delete f2;
///     f2 = 0;
///     delete f1;
///     f1 = 0;
/// ~~~
/// An example of a branch with an object allocated by us,
/// but owned by the caller:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     TFile* f = new TFile("myfile.root", "recreate");
///     TTree* t = new TTree("t", "A test tree.")
///     Event* event = 0;
