[Halld-offline] Clarification of "primary"

[Richard Jones]

Beni and all,

The meaning of "primary particle" is, I think, pretty well defined.  Why do we need to change language that everyone understands?

This change confuses me, and I think screws up the particle stacking sematics of geant, not to speak of the clear separation between primaries and secondaries that exists in our minds -- and in geant as originally designed.  Instead of rewriting the dictionary, can you propose what additional features you would like to see in the hdgeant output, and let's have a discussion on how best to accomplish that?

As it is, the changes you have introduced break the familiar pattern of how geant is supposed to work.
