/** \class RooUnblindUniform
    \ingroup Roofit

Implementation of BlindTools' offset blinding method.
A RooUnblindUniform object is a real-valued function
object, constructed from a parameter to be blinded and a
set of config parameters to change the blinding method.
When supplied to a PDF in lieu of the regular parameter,
a transformation will be applied such that the likelihood is computed with the actual
value of the parameter, but RooFit (, the user, MINUIT) see only
the transformed (blinded) value. The transformation is chosen such that
the error of the blind parameter is identical to that
of the original parameter.
