    We probably should have some kind of policy about how to adjust to
    differences between real and MC data. Clearly, the less adjustment
    the better...<br>

            <div>Selecting the "mc" variation as Paul described will
              return tables of MC constants, assuming the MC-specific
              tables have been added.  If not, the default tables will
              be returned (presumably with constant values appropriate
              for data).  </div>

            <div>There's not currently any way to automatically use
              different algorithms for data and MC, as far as I'm
              aware.  In principle, one could check to see if the
              selected variation is "mc" or something else, and use that
              to select different algorithms, data tags, or something
              like that, but I'm not sure if that's something we want to
              allow.</div>
