# The WarpXPIC class is the beginnings of an implementation of a standard interface
# for running PIC codes. This is the run time equivalent to the PICMI standard.
# This standard would specify the API for calling the various pieces of typical
# time step loops, for example get_self_fields and put_Efields. Ideally, a user
# could write a loop using the standard and, importing one of compliant codes, be
# able to run a customized PIC simulation with that code.
