Instead, always use precompiled versions of range computing. This means
you won't be able to specify the type. Currently, types are limited to
scalars vecs up to size 4.
The main motivation for this change is to allow you to include Field.h
with a non-device compiler. This is an important feature for our
customers.
I plan in the future to implement a mechanism to pull out a component of
most ArrayHandle's as a single array. This would enable us to support a
precompiled version that can compute the range of arbitrarily sized
Vecs.
The newer List operations should still work on the old ListTags, so make
those changes first to ensure that everything still works as expected if
given an old ListTag.
Next step is to deprecate ListTagBase itself and move all the lists to
the new types.
The `MultiBlock` class has been renamed to `PartitionedDataSet`, and its API
has been refactored to refer to "partitions", rather than "blocks".
Additionally, the `AddBlocks` method has been changed to `AppendPartitions` to
more accurately reflect the operation performed. The associated
`AssignerMultiBlock` class has also been renamed to
`AssignerPartitionedDataSet`.
This change is motivated towards unifying VTK-m's data model with VTK. VTK has
started to move away from `vtkMultiBlockDataSet`, which is a hierarchical tree
of nested datasets, to `vtkPartitionedDataSet`, which is always a flat vector
of datasets used to assist geometry distribution in multi-process environments.
This simplifies traversal during processing and clarifies the intent of the
container: The component datasets are partitions for distribution, not
organizational groupings (e.g. materials).
