/**
 * LesHouchesFileReader is an base class to be used for objects which
 * reads event files from matrix element generators. It inherits from
 * LesHouchesReader and extends it by defining a file handle to be
 * read from, which is opened and closed by the open() and close()
 * functions. Note that the file handle is a standard C filehandle and
 * not a C++ stream. This is because there is no standard way in C++
 * to connect a pipe to a stream for reading eg. gzipped files. This
 * class is able to read plain event files conforming to the Les
 * Houches Event File accord.
 *
 * @see \ref LesHouchesFileReaderInterfaces "The interfaces"
