example of ROOT DST format ?

Thinking about possible format of the DST (mini-DST) written with
ROOT, one naturally comes to something more or less close to the following
scheme:

- the data are organized into a tree with just one branch,
corresponding to the experimental runs. Object written into this branch
(run record) contains:

- begin run record (if any)
- tree of events (event record in general goes into several branches)
- end run record (if any)

There are examples in ROOT tests/tutorials of how to deal with the simpliest
trees, consisting of one or several linear branches (branch itself is not a tree
but just a collection of leaves).

It would be quite helpful to have an example of writing out (filling) more
complex tree structure, for example the one described above.

Thanks, Pasha.
