// Class Description:
//  The G4FastTrack provides you access to the current G4Track,
// gives simple access to envelope related features (G4Region,
// G4LogicalVolume, G4VSolid, G4AffineTransform references between
// the global and the envelope local coordinates systems) and
// simple access to the position, momentum expressed in the
// envelope coordinate system. Using those quantities and the
// G4VSolid methods, you can for example easily check how far you
// are from the envelope boundary.
