/// This class derives from Transformer and makes use of a pointer to

/// in the vicinity of a given jet and then subtract area*background from
/// the jet. It can also be initialised with a specific fixed value for the 
/// background pt density.

/// 
/// The original jet must have area support (4-vector)

/// \section output Output/interface

/// The underlying structure of the returned, subtracted jet
/// (i.e. constituents, pieces, etc.) is identical to that of the
/// original jet.
