//        G4FastTrack class
//
//-------------------------------------------

// Class Description:
//  The G4FastTrack provides you access to the current G4Track,
// gives simple access to envelope related features (G4Region,
// G4LogicalVolume, G4VSolid, G4AffineTransform references between
// the global and the envelope local coordinates systems) and
// simple access to the position, momentum expressed in the
// envelope coordinate system. Using those quantities and the
// G4VSolid methods, you can for example easily check how far you
// are from the envelope boundary. 
//

  // Constructor/Destructor
  //------------------------
  // Only one Constructor. By default the envelope can
  // be placed n-Times. If the user is sure that it'll be 
  // placed just one time, the IsUnique flag should be set 
  // TRUE to avoid the G4AffineTransform re-calculations each 
  // time we reach the envelope.
