[tableio] - MCTree Converters

[Alex Olivas]

Since we're not booking the whole tree anymore, people need alternatives.

[Jakob van Santen]

The thing most people need is to pull the primary out of the tree, put it in the frame, and book that. A painful example of what has to be done in general can be found in weighting.get_weighted_primary().

[David Schultz]

does #1082 resolve this?

[Alex Olivas]

It kinda does and I was tempted to close this, but I still agree with Jakob that dumping the whole tree is typically not what most people want. Perhaps we should also provide some convenience converters (like "the" primary) that are likely closer to what most people really want and need.

I can't really see a good way to provide convenient converters for other tree information. Booking the primary themselves should be pretty straightforward. Ditto for other information in the tree. What information people are going to want is highly analysis dependent, so people should just write their own. The tableio docs look pretty good and I don't see how to make it any more convenient.
