// G4BiasingProcessInterface
//
// Class Description:
//        A wrapper process making the interface between the tracking
//    and the G4VBiasingOperator objects attached to volumes.
//        If this process holds a physics process, it forwards
//    tracking calls to this process in volume where not biasing
//    occurs. In volumes with biasing (with a G4VBiasingOperator
//    attached) the process gets what to do messaging the biasing
//    operator :
//        - at the PostStepGPIL level, for getting an occurrence biasing
//          operation. If such an operation is returned to the process
//          this operation will be messaged at several places.
//        - at the PostStepDoIt level, to get a possible final state
//          biasing operation
//        If the process does not hold a physics process, it is meant
//    as handling "non physics" biasing operations: pure splitting
//    or pure kiling for example (ie not brem splitting).
