mizerExtensionTemplate extension classes

S3 extension classes for MizerParams and MizerSim that enable dispatch to the methods defined in this package.

Details

The class names are ordinary entries in the object's S3 class vector. All extension-specific data lives in other_params(params)$mizerExtensionTemplate and in the component parameters of the "plankton" component (see setComponent()).

Objects of class mizerExtensionTemplate are created by newExtensionTemplateParams(). Objects of class mizerExtensionTemplateSim are returned automatically by project() when called on a mizerExtensionTemplate params object.

No class declaration is needed. newExtensionTemplateParams() records the extension on the object with mizer::recordExtension() and then calls mizer::coerceToExtensionClass(). For example, the params class vector is c("mizerExtensionTemplate", "MizerParams"); simulations created by project() receive c("mizerExtensionTemplateSim", "MizerSim") automatically.
