// Class History represents the processing history of a single Event.
// It includes ordered sequences of elements, each of which contains
// information about a specific 'process' through which the Event has
// passed, with earlier processes at the beginning of the sequence.
// This class is needed for backward compatibility only.
// It is relevant if and only if fileFormatVersion.eventHistoryTree() is true.
