Comment (by hinder):
I tested that this works as expected for an outgoing radiative boundary
condition by comparing with the static BC, and finding only a very small
amount of incoming radiation (in psi0), and comparing the psi4 waveform
with that from a causally disconnected boundary. Erik also had eyes on the
code (he found a bug which I had missed). One reason not to apply it
would be the complaint that it is not a generic solution, since it only
helps when the z coordinate is in fact radial. It also may not work if
the radial stretch is used and the stretched region extends to the outer
boundary. However, it allows us right now to implement causally-connected
outer boundary conditions with the ET, and I think that is worth having
even with those issues.
