/**
 \class TDirectoryFile
 \ingroup IO

 A ROOT file is structured in Directories (like a file system).
 Each Directory has a list of Keys (see TKeys) and a list of objects
 in memory. A Key is a small object that describes the type and location
 of a persistent object in a file. The persistent object may be a directory.
Begin_Macro
../../../tutorials/io/fildir.C
End_Macro
 The structure of a file is shown in TFile::TFile

/// | Pattern | Explanation |
/// |---------|-------------|
/// |  foo    | get object named foo in memory if object is not in memory, try with highest cycle from file |
