\class    genie::QELFormFactors

\brief    A class holding Quasi Elastic (QEL) Form Factors.

          This class is using the \b Strategy Pattern. \n
          It can accept requests to calculate itself, for a given interaction,
          that it then delegates to the algorithmic object, implementing the
          QELFormFactorsModelI interface, that it finds attached to itself.
