Sandia National Laboratories recently changed management from the

Previously, all arrays passed to worklets were designated as either
input or output. No in-place operation was permitted. This change adds
the FieldInOut tag for ControlSignature in both WorkletMapField and
WorkletMapTopology that allows you to read and write from the same
array.
It's easy to put accidently put something that is not a valid tag in a
ControlSignature or ExecutionSignature. Previously, when you did that
you got a weird error at the end of a very long template instantiation
chain that made it difficult to find the offending worklet.
This adds some type checks when the dispatcher is instantated to check
the signatures. It doesn't point directly to the signature or its
parameter, but it is much closer.
Instead of just checking that a dispatcher's Invoke input is an
ArrayHandle, also check that the ValueType of the ArrayHandle is
compatible with the types of the worklet operator. This is done by
adding a template argument to the ControlSignature tags that is a type
list tag that gets passed to the type check.
