Adding GenEvent::add_tree
As a feature request, I was wondering if it would be possible to add an interface to GenEvent::add_tree()?
I think this would make it relatively straightforward to convert Pythia8 events into HepMC3 ones, entirely in Python -- I think this can currently be achieved with the "standard" HepMC3 Python bindings, see here. One could perhaps cook up a similar function without this exact method*, but being able to run the same algorithm as the "official" converter would be great.
* I've attempted this with pyhepmc but my example only seems to work when initial- and final-state radiation is turned off in Pythia8. Otherwise the GenEvent is missing vertices in the listing once it's written by pyhepmc.io.WriterAscii, with the number of vertices given in the event header still showing the old value.)
