   /**
      @defgroup MCIntegration Numerical Monte Carlo Integration Classes
      Classes implementing method for Monte Carlo Integration.  
      @ingroup Integration

    Class for performing numerical integration of a multidimensional function.
    It uses the numerical integration algorithms of GSL, which reimplements the
    algorithms used in the QUADPACK, a numerical integration package written in Fortran.

    Plain MC, MISER and VEGAS integration algorithms are supported for integration over finite (hypercubic) ranges.

    <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/gsl-ref_16.html#SEC248">GSL Manual</A>.

    It implements also the interface ROOT::Math::VirtualIntegratorMultiDim so it can be
    instantiate using the plugin manager (plugin name is "GSLMCIntegrator")
