// Class G4IStore
//
// Class description:
//
// An implementation of a "importance store" with the interface
// G4VIStore. See description in G4VIStore.
// This implementation uses G4GeometryCellImportance as the container
// to store the "cells" together with the importance values.
// Giving a cell the importance 0 is allowed as
// a flagging that no biasing should happen between this
// cell and it's neighbors
// If a cell is not known by the importance store no biasing
// should be applied between this cell and it's nighbors.
