// properties of the background as it is done in ClusterSequenceArea.
// On top of that, we provide methods to specify an explicit set of
// jets to use or a list of jets to exclude.
// We also provide all sorts of additional information regarding
// the background estimation like the jets that have been used or
// the number of pure-ghost jets.
