/// Framework for Berger-Oliger timestepping for AMR
/**
   This class is a framework for Berger-Oliger timestepping for
   adaptive mesh refinement of time-dependent problems.  It is
   applicable to both hyperbolic and parabolic problems.  It
   represents a hierarchy of levels of refinement as a collection of
   AMRLevel objects.

   The usage pattern is this:

   <ol>
     <li>Call define() to define the stuff that does not change throughout
         the run (maxlevel, refinement ratios, domain, and operator).
     <li>Modify any parameters you like (blocking factor, max grid size, etc.)
         using parameter-setting functions.
     <li>Call any one of the three setup functions (setupForRestart(),
         setupForNewAMRRun(), or setupForFixedHierarchyRun())
         so AMR can set up all its internal data structures.
     <li>Call run() to run the calculation.
     <li>Call conclude() to output (to stdout) how many cells were updated
         and so forth.
   </ol>
