/// \class TUserSettings
///
/// The TUserSettings class defines user settings that can be
/// read from text or root files. It stores them in separate
/// maps for booleans, integers, floats, and strings as well
/// as vectors of those types.
///
/// For helpers the reading of the user settings is done in
/// the TGRSIHelper class and made available as the member
/// fUserSettings. Code to read the user setting "MyDouble"
/// into the member variable `fMyMemberVariable` in the helper's
/// constructor could be:
/// ```
///      if(fUserSettings != nullptr) {
///         fMyMemberVariable = fUserSettings->GetDouble("MyDouble", 1.);
///      }
/// ```
/// See the AngularCorrelationHelper's header file for more.
///
/// In general the user settings can be accessed via the
/// static function `TUserSettings* TGRSIOptions::UserSettings()`.
///
/// If TGRSIOptions are not available, the user settings can
/// be read using the constructor:
/// ```
/// userSettings = new TUserSettings(filename);
/// ```
/// or using the ReadSettings function:
/// ```
/// userSettings->ReadSettings(filename);
/// ```
/// where userSettings is of type TUserSettings* and filename is
/// either a std::string or char*.
///
/// The settings file is expected to have the format
/// parameter name: value
/// where parameter name is a string w/o whitespace and value is the value of the parameter
/// the type of the value (bool, int, double, std::string, or vectors of these types) will be determined automatically.
/// Vectors are comma separated values of one type.
/// The default type is std::string.
/// Any lines starting with '#' or '//' or without a colon will be ignored.
/// See "examples/AngularCorrelationSettings.par" for an example of a settings file.
