Transparently translates a leaf count array in a custom class in an RVec (read & write). Classes with leaf count arrays are used, e.g., in the ALICE RAW EDM but most likely there are other relevant cases, too.
Since this approach diverges the in-memory representation from the on-disk representation, we should discuss if we actually want this.
In any case, we probably want the first commit that detects leaf count arrays in classes and fails gracefully in such a case.
