/** \brief Base modifier for StepperBackwardEuler.
 *
 *  This class provides a means to modify values (e.g., solution variables
 *  through SolutionHistory, and stepper member data through the Stepper),
 *  and can be very powerful and easy to make changes to the stepper and
 *  the solution.
 *
 *  Users deriving from this class can access a lot of data, and it is
 *  expected that those users know what changes are allowable without
 *  affecting the Stepper correctness, performance, accuracy and stability.
 *  Thus the user should be careful when accessing data through classes
 *  derived from the default modifier (i.e., USER BEWARE!!).
 *
 *  Below is the BackwardEuler algorithm with the locations of the modify calls
 *  italicized.
 *
 *  \f{algorithm}{
 *  \renewcommand{\thealgorithm}{}
 *  \caption{Backward Euler with modify calls indicated.}
 *  \begin{algorithmic}[1]
 *    \State \quad {\it modifier.modify(solutionHistory, stepper, BEGIN\_STEP)}
 *    \State Compute the predictor (e.g., apply stepper to $x_n$).
 *    \State \quad {\it modifier.modify(solutionHistory, stepper, BEFORE\_SOLVE)}
 *    \State Solve $\mathcal{F}_n(\dot{x}=(x_n-x_{n-1})/\Delta t_n, x_n, t_n)=0$ for $x_n$
 *    \State \quad {\it modifier.modify(solutionHistory, stepper, AFTER\_SOLVE)}
 *    \State $\dot{x}_n \leftarrow (x_n-x_{n-1})/\Delta t_n$
 *    \State \quad {\it modifier.modify(solutionHistory, stepper, END\_STEP)}
