/** \brief Base modifier for StepperSubcycling.
 *
 *  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!!).
 *
