Comment (by knarf):
Do you suggest to let CCTK_ParameterValString return an error in case a thorn isn't active? I don't see a good reason against it, apart from, maybe:
Going wild: what if we want to be able to activate/deactivate thorns at runtime at some point? We then probably want the ability to steer their parameters before they get activated. Of course, that's not a good argument at the moment ...
