\class    genie::PDF

\brief    A class to store PDFs.

          This class is using the \b Strategy Pattern. \n
          It can accept requests to calculate itself, for a given (x,q^2) pair,
          that it then delegates to the algorithmic object, implementing the
          PDFModelI interface, that it finds attached to itself.
