!> @brief Reads entries from a field table and stores this
!! information along with the type  of field it belongs to.
!!
!> This allows the component models to query the field manager to see if non-default
!! methods of operation are desired. In essence the field table is a
!! powerful type of namelist. Default values can be provided for all the
!! fields through a namelist, individual fields can be modified  through
!! the field table however.
!!
!> @author William Cooke
!!
!! An example of field table entries could be
!! <PRE>
!!              "tracer","atmos_mod","sphum"
!!
!!              "tracer","atmos_mod","sf6"
!!              "longname","sulf_hex"
!!              "advection_scheme_horiz","2nd_order"
!!              "Profile_type","Fixed","surface_value = 0.0E+00"/
!!
!!              "prog_tracers","ocean_mod","age_global"
!!              horizontal-advection-scheme = mdfl_sweby
!!              vertical-advection-scheme = mdfl_sweby
!!              restart_file = ocean_age.res.nc
!! </PRE>
!!
!! The field table consists of entries in the following format.
!!
!! The first line of an entry should consist of three quoted strings.
!!
!! The first quoted string will tell the field manager what type of
!! field it is.
!!
!! The second quoted string will tell the field manager which model the
!! field is being applied to.
!! The supported types at present are
!!<PRE>
!!      "coupler_mod" for the coupler,
!!      "atmos_mod" for the atmosphere model,
!!      "ocean_mod" for the ocean model,
!!      "land_mod" for the land model, and,
!!      "ice_mod" for the ice model.
!!</PRE>
!! The third quoted string should be a unique name that can be used as a
!! query.
!!
!! The second and following lines of each entry are called methods in
!! this context. Methods can be developed within any module and these
!! modules can query the field manager to find any methods that are
!! supplied in the field table.
!!
!! These lines can be coded quite flexibly.
!!
!! The line can consist of two or three quoted strings or a simple unquoted
!! string.
!!
!! If the line consists two or three quoted strings, then the first string will
!! be an identifier that the querying module will ask for.
!!
!! The second string will be a name that the querying module can use to
!! set up values for the module.
!!
!! The third string, if present, can supply parameters to the calling module that can be
!! parsed and used to further modify values.
!!
!! If the line consists of a simple unquoted string then quotes are not allowed
!! in any part of the line.
!!
!! An entry is ended with a backslash (/) as the final character in a
!! row.
!!
!! Comments can be inserted in the field table by having a # as the
!! first character in the line.
!!
!! In the example above we have three field entries.
!!
!! The first is a simple declaration of a tracer called "sphum".
!!
!! The second is for a tracer called "sf6". In this case a field named
!! "longname" will be given the value "sulf_hex". A field named
!! "advection_scheme_horiz" will be given the value "2nd_order". Finally a field
!! name "Profile_type" will be given a child field called "Fixed", and that field
!! will be given a field called "surface_value" with a real value of 0.0E+00.
!!
!! The third entry is an example of a oceanic age tracer. Note that the
!! method lines are formatted differently here. This is the flexibility mentioned
!! above.
!!
!! With these formats, a number of restrictions are required.
!!
!! The following formats are equally valid.
!!<PRE>
!!      "longname","sulf_hex"
!!      "longname = sulf_hex"
!!      longname = sulf_hex
!!</PRE>
!! However the following is not valid.
!!<PRE>
!!      longname = "sulf_hex"
!!</PRE>
!!
!! In the SF6 example above the last line of the entry could be written in the
!! following ways.
!!<PRE>
!!      "Profile_type","Fixed","surface_value = 0.0E+00"/
!!      Profile_type/Fixed/surface_value = 0.0E+00/
!!</PRE>
!!
!! Values supplied with fields are converted to the various types with the
!! following assumptions.
!!<PRE>
!! Real values : These values contain a decimal point or are in exponential format.
!!    These values only support e or E format for exponentials.
!!    e.g. 10.0, 1e10 and 1E10 are considered to be real numbers.
!!
!! Integer values : These values only contain numbers.
!!    e.g 10 is an integer. 10.0 and 1e10 are not.
!!
!! Logical values : These values are supplied as one of the following formats.
!!    T, .T., TRUE, .TRUE.
!!    t, .t., true, .true.
!!    F, .F., FALSE, .FALSE.
!!    f, .f., false, .false.
!!    These will be converted to T or F in a dump of the field.
!!
!! Character strings : These values are assumed to be strings if a character
!!    other than an e (or E) is in the value. Numbers can be suppled in the value.
!!    If the value does not meet the criteria for a real, integer or logical type,
!!    it is assumed to be a character type.
!!</PRE>
!! The entries within the field table can be designed by the individual
!! authors of code to allow modification of their routines.

!> @brief This method_type is a way to allow a component module to alter the parameters it needs
!! for various tracers.
!!
!> In essence this is a way to modify a namelist. A namelist can supply
!! default parameters for all tracers. This  method will allow the user to modify these
!! default parameters for an individual tracer. An example could be that  the user wishes to
!! use second order advection on a tracer and also use fourth order advection on a second
!! tracer  within the same model run. The default advection could be second order and the
!! field table would then indicate  that the second tracer requires fourth order advection.
!! This would be parsed by the advection routine.

!! object (in the field_manager definition) from which various fm routines may be
!! called, as well as populating the "fields" object and the "methods" objects
!! within each field object. The "fields" and "methods" objects are then used
!! with the subroutine new_name to append various characteristics to the list
!! object. Note that the "fields" and "methods" objects are also used with other
!! fm routines in a bit of a parallel system.
