 * @class SessionReader
 *
 * This class provides an interface to Nektar++-specific content in a
 * supplied XML document. It also initialises a Nektar++ session
 * including setting up communication for parallel execution and where
 * necessary partitioning the supplied mesh for running across multiple
 * processes.
 *
 * A session should be initialised at the beginning of a user's
 * application by passing the command-line arguments. This not only
 * allows the SessionReader to extract the name of the XML document to
 * load containing Nektar++ session information, but also supplies the
 * MPI arguments necessary for setting up parallel communication. The
 * SessionReader should be initialised using the #CreateInstance
 * function:
 * @code
 * LibUtilities::SessionReaderSharedPtr vSession
 *          = LibUtilities::SessionReader::CreateInstance(argc, argv);
 * @endcode
 * The instance \c vSession can now be passed to other key Nektar++
 * components during their construction.
 * @note At the end of the user application, it is important to call the
 * #Finalise routine in order to finalise any MPI communication and
 * correctly free resources.
 *
 * The SessionReader class provides streamlined, validated access to
 * session parameters, solver information and functions defined within a
 * Nektar++ XML document. The available routines and their usage is
 * documented below.
 *
 * In the case of solver information properties, the classes to which
 * these parameters are pertinent may register with the SessionReader
 * class the set of valid values for a given property. Such values may
 * also be associated with an enumeration value for more transparent use
 * of the property values in code.
 */
 
/**
 * This map of maps stores the list of valid string values for a number
 * of solver information parameters. The top level map connects
 * different parameter names to their list of possible values. The list
 * of possible values is also a map, mapping a valid string to a
 * corresponding enum value.
 *
 * This list is populated through the #RegisterEnumValue static member
 * function which is called statically from various classes to register
 * the valid values for solver info parameters associated with them. The
 * map is therefore fully populated before the SessionReader class is
 * instantiated and a file is read in and parsed.
