// 20100714  M. Kelsey -- Move functionality from G4VCascadeCollider, and
//      provide conservation-checking here, with wrapper function
//      and control flag.
// 20100720  M. Kelsey -- Change G4CascadeCheckBalance to pointer member
// 20100925  M. Kelsey -- Add explosion(A,Z,Eex) and explosion(G4Fragment)
//      interfaces
// 20110225  M. Kelsey -- Add setVerboseLevel(), calls through to members
// 20110304  M. Kelsey -- Add dummy rescatter() interface here, to enforce
//      consistency in subclass colliders.
// 20110321  M. Kelsey -- Hide names of arguments to rescatter(), to avoid
//      compiler warnings on some GCC versions.
