     * it is possible that there are multiple electron objects in the collection that correspond to the same
     * real physics object - a supercluster with two tracks reconstructed to it, or a track that points to two different SC
     *  (i would guess the latter doesn't actually happen).
     * NB triplicates also appear in the electron collection provided by egamma group, it is necessary to handle those correctly
