* This is a namespace which provides some useful methods
* for checking the PDG id of particles.
* Notice that the name "quark" in the methods below means any of
* the following:
* d , u , s , c , b anti-d , anti-u , anti-s , anti-c , anti-b
* that is we do not distinguish between particle or antiparticle
* ( because can be done directly by the user:
* id > 0 for particles ; id < 0 for anti-particles )
* and we do not include t (and anti-t ) because we are interested
* in components of mesons and baryons.
* Similarly for the name "diquark" which include all diquarks (id > 0)
* and anti-diquarks (id < 0) not made with t ( anti-t ) component.
*
* NB) For Other useful methods (even some implemented in CheckId)
* @see StandardMatchers
