[Rivet] ChargedLeptons including neutrinos?

[Markus Seidel]

Hi Andy,

thanks for fixing ChargedLeptons :)

I think the problem with PromptFinalState was my mistake. I intended to 
select events with exactly one lepton (not from tau). By just using 
accepttaudecays=false I ended up with still having dilepton e/mu+tau 
events in the selection.
So in the end I implemented a veto on W>tau+nu_tau as a workaround for 
the partonic decay selection. Afaik Holger is looking at 
CMS_2016_I1473674 and may come up with a better solution.

Cheers,
Markus
