Particles Rivet::Particle::stableDescendants ( const Cut c = Cuts::OPEN) const

Get a list of all the stable descendants from the current particle (with optional selection Cut)

Todo:

Use recursion through replica-avoiding MCUtils functions to avoid bookkeeping duplicates

Insist that the current particle is post-hadronization, otherwise throw an exception?
