//==============================================================
// ProductToken and ViewToken are used to enable efficient product
// lookup via a consumes statement given in a module's constructor
// (e.g.):
//
//   ProductToken<int> nPotsToken_{consumes<int>(inputTag_)};
//   ...
//   auto const& nPotsH = e.getValidHandle(nPotsToken_); => ValidHandle<int>
//
// The ProductToken and ViewToken classes have only private members:
// access is granted via friendship.  The intention is that these
// classes should be entirely opaque to the user.
