Good point. The only difference the accelerator makes is the range in 
which you would look at observables and maybe some cuts, all basically 
related to E_cms. So to use it for different accelerators, we would 
probably need the information about E_cms. Didn't we talk about wanting to 
move the beam-info extraction to before init anyway such that we could 
book histograms based on that information? Maybe this here is another good 
motivation for it.

Do you remember, and do you think it's something we want (i.e. that is 
feasible) for this release already? I have to admit that I haven't looked 
at it in detail yet.

I don't mind (/care).
