// class G4RegionStore
//
// Class description:
//
// Container for all regiong, with functionality derived from
// std::vector<T>. The class is a `singleton', in that only
// one can exist, and access is provided via the static method
// G4RegionStore::GetInstance().
//
// All regions should be registered with G4RegionStore, and removed on their
// destruction. The underlying container initially has a capacity of 20.
//
// If much additional functionality is added, should consider containment
// instead of inheritance for std::vector<T>
//
// Member data:
//
// static G4RegionStore*
//   - Pointer to the single G4RegionStore

// History:
// 18.09.02 G.Cosmo Initial version
