// Verify and report four-momentum conservation for collision output; uses
// same interface as collision generators.
//
// 20100624  M. Kelsey -- Add baryon conservation check and kinetic energy
// 20100628  M. Kelsey -- Add interface to take list of particles directly
// 20100711  M. Kelsey -- Add name of parent Collider for reporting messages,
//              allow changing parent name, add interface for nuclear fragments
// 20100713  M. Kelsey -- Add (publicly adjustable) tolerance for zeroes
// 20100715  M. Kelsey -- FPE!  Need to check initial values before computing
//              relative error.
// 20100715  M. Kelsey -- Add G4CascadParticle interface for G4NucleiModel;
//              do momentum check on direction, not just magnitude.  Move
//              temporary G4CollisionOutput buffer here, for thread-safety
// 20100909  M. Kelsey -- Add interface to get four-vector difference, and
//              to supply both kinds of particle lists (G4IntraNucleiCascader)
// 20100923  M. Kelsey -- Baryon and charge deltas should have been integer
// 20110328  M. Kelsey -- Add default ctor and explicit limit setting
// 20110722  M. Kelsey -- For IntraNucleiCascader, take G4CollOut as argument
// 20121002  M. Kelsey -- Add strangeness check (useful for Omega- beam)
