//
// Description:
//     Abstract base class; derived classes enable TrkRecoTrk to give 
// users access to representation-specific functions without having 
// the functions in the RecoTrk interface.  Users create an object of 
// of one of the derived TrkExtInterface classes and pass it to 
// TrkRecoTrk::attach(), which will either accept it or reject it, 
// depending on whether the TrkRep inside recognizes it.  Recognition 
// is implemented by a simple equality test on the Rep's key.
//
// Environment:
//      Software developed for the BaBar Detector at the SLAC B-Factory.
