/** \file
 * \ingroup fn
 *
 * A #Field represents a function that outputs a value based on an arbitrary number of inputs. The
 * inputs for a specific field evaluation are provided by a #FieldContext.
 *
 * A typical example is a field that computes a displacement vector for every vertex on a mesh
 * based on its position.
 *
 * Fields can be build, composed and evaluated at run-time. They are stored in a directed tree
 * graph data structure, whereby each node is a #FieldNode and edges are dependencies. A #FieldNode
 * has an arbitrary number of inputs and at least one output and a #Field references a specific
 * output of a #FieldNode. The inputs of a #FieldNode are other fields.
 *
 * There are two different types of field nodes:
 *  - #FieldInput: Has no input and exactly one output. It represents an input to the entire field
 *    when it is evaluated. During evaluation, the value of this input is based on a #FieldContext.
 *  - #FieldOperation: Has an arbitrary number of field inputs and at least one output. Its main
 *    use is to compose multiple existing fields into new fields.
 *
 * When fields are evaluated, they are converted into a multi-function procedure which allows
 * efficient computation. In the future, we might support different field evaluation mechanisms for
 * e.g. the following scenarios:
 *  - Latency of a single evaluation is more important than throughput.
 *  - Evaluation should happen on other hardware like GPUs.
 *
 * Whenever possible, multiple fields should be evaluated together to avoid duplicate work when
 * they share common sub-fields and a common context.
