/*! @brief A blind collection class designed to use CollectionAction objects.
 *
 * The SmartBlindCollection class is designed to handle CollectionAction objects. These
 * defines the procedures to do when an event is selected or discarded.
 * This collection differs from SmartCollection only because it is blind, ie., it will apply
 * all the cuts to each events, even if some of them fail (see #BlindCutCollection to get
 * more info about blind collections). In current implementation, after a cut has failed, it
 * will call OnBad for all the actions that come after that cut (also the ones at the end of
 * successive bunches), regardless if, for example, in a certain subsequent bunch all the
 * cuts are satisfied.
