* format. Since Json documents often come in the form of a string, these
* too are accepted and parsed on the fly.

* \param MausData& The root \a MausData object from the cpp data structure

* Some ugliness results from the fact that the Spill is written as the base

* written as the top level in ROOT. To make it worse, Spill doesn't always
* hold spill data - as DAQ sometimes spits out start_of_burst or
