 * @brief Metadata that describes the storage properties of field output.
 *
 * The purpose of this struct is to describe the format of binary field data.
 * This can then be used in the library to determine appropriate actions. For
 * example, when restarting a simulation, the information this struct
 * encapsulates can be used to determine whether interpolation is required to a
 * different polynomial order depending on the order of the simulation versus
 * the order of the restart file.
 *
 * We note that some of the parameters here include:
 *
 * - Element shape type and the basis used
 * - Element IDs, which determines the order of data written in a field
 * - The field names (e.g. u for x-velocity) so that multi-field storage can be
 *   agglomerated into one data block. Each field is written in the order
 *   specified here.
 * - Number of modes, including support for variable polynomial order
 * - Homogeneous information (dimension of homogeneity, IDs of planes and/or
 *   strips if they are used)

 * @brief Class for operating on Nektar++ input/output files.
 *
 * Nektar++ input/output of field data can be described as follows:
 *
 *   - The FieldDefinitions class defines the metadata that is associated with
 *     one or more scalar field variables, and determines the storage length.
 *   - Each scalar field is stored in a single contiguous vector which is
 *     written/read by the functions defined in this class.
 *   - Optional metadata can be read/written in a simple key/value pair map
 *     FieldMetaDataMap. This can be used to define, e.g. the timestep of the
 *     simulation.
 *
 * This base class represents the minimum functionality that subclasses need to
 * implement in order to implement the above functionality. Each subclass is
 * free to determine its own file structure and parallel behaviour.
