[Rivet] ChargedLeptons including neutrinos?

The ChargedLeptons fix is done -- thanks.

I couldn't find a problem with the PromptFinalState prompt-tau option, 
though. It just defers to the Particle::isPrompt(from_prompt_tau, ...) 
method and the source of that looks ok to me.

Maybe the problem was the documentation and arg names: that option does 
not *insist* on prompt taus (which would be a job e.g. for TauFinder and 
Particle::isPrompt()) but rather decides whether leptons from the decay 
of prompt taus are themselves to be considered prompt. I've tried to 
improve the docs a bit... but would that explain the behaviour you saw?
