Description

Using the attached typo.fcl

$ mu2e -c typo.fcl
%MSG-i MF_INIT_OK:  mu2e 21-May-2015 16:48:40 CDT JobSetup
Messagelogger initialization complete.
%MSG
%MSG-s ArtException:  mu2e 21-May-2015 16:48:45 CDT JobSetup
cet::exception caught in art
---- Type mismatch BEGIN
  filter
  ---- Type mismatch BEGIN
    invalid sequence
  ---- Type mismatch END
---- Type mismatch END
%MSG
Art has completed and will exit with status 8001.

The actual problem is "filter" instead of "filters" in the last line.
The complaint about a sequence is confusing.

Any parameter in the physics parameter set that is not either filters, producers or analyzers is assumed to be a path specification, which must be a sequence. We can certainly trap this error and throw a more useful error message in these circumstances.

Should a user specify a parameter that is not supported in the 'physics' block of the configuration file, the following exception will now be thrown:

---- Configuration BEGIN

  You have specified the following unsupported parameters in the
  "physics" block of your configuration:

     "physics.filter"   (table)

  Supported parameters include the following tables:
     "physics.producers" 
     "physics.filters" 
     "physics.analyzers" 
  and sequences.  Atomic configuration parameters are not allowed.

---- Configuration END

Implemented with commit art:7c471e2e55fa21ba75fb869a1a8ded7784b7ab4f.
