Comment (by eschnett):

 > Seriously though, what about if Carpet detects that no output will ever
 appear, and gives a fatal error? There might be the complication that the
 number of refinement levels is not fixed.

 > Would it be easy to produce a warning in case someone specifies to have
 output at a given iteration but that actually doesn't exist? I would
 consider that to be an error in the parameter file.

 The number of refinement levels can change during evolution. At for each
 given number of refinement levels, each "out_every" value will eventually
 output something, it may just take a very long time.
