// Simple illustration how to provide (a) your own resonance-width class,
// and (b) your own cross-section class, with instances handed in to Pythia.
// The hypothetical scenario is that top would have been so long-lived
// that a toponium resonance Theta could form. Then production could
// proceed via q qbar -> gamma*/Z* -> Theta, with decay either to
// a fermion pair or (dominantly) to three gluons.
// The implementation is not physically correct in any number of ways,
// but should exemplify the strategy needed for realistic cases.
