/**
 * @brief Class for representation of a vector of fields of the same physical quantity.
 *
 * When solving a system of same equations with the number of components given at runtime
 * (as in the case of transport equation for runtime given number of substances) we need means how to work with the whole
 * vector of fields at once. This is the aim of this class. It provides the interface given by the parent class @p FieldCommonBase,
 * but principally it is just a vector of Field<Value,dim> objects. The sub-fields or components of a @p MultiField are independent
 * objects, how ever the setters propagates the values from the MultiFields to the individual fields. The only exception is the
 * @p set_name method which in conjunction with @p MultiField::set_subfield_names can set unique name to each component.
 *
 * Template parameters are used for every subfield.
 *
 *  TODO:
 *  - general mechanism how to convert a Field< dim, Vector> to MultiField< dim, Value>
 *  - implement set_from_input
 *  - implement set_Time
 *
 *  - problem with "input" methods, since Field works with AbstratRecord, the MultiField - However  - should use Array of Abstracts
 *    simplest solution - test that in EqDataBase and have more methods in FieldCommonBase, or somehow detach input handling from
 *    Fields
 *
 * Definition of MultiField must be in separate file.
 * In other case source file field.cc is too big and compiler can throw compile error.
