Comment:
* documentation is missing for {{{[}}} to indicate closed intervals * documentation in synatx of a range entry is relagated to appendix * the docs say that a description of a range is optional, yet this triggers a warning when used * the documentation does not mention the use of a stride for reals * the documentation says one can use C like postfixes "f" and "l" for float and long double values, however the {{{$real}}} regex in parameter_parser.pl will not allow this (but does incorrectly accept Fortran style {{{D}}} instead of {{{E}}} for the exponent. * parameter_parser.pl will not accept {{{[}}} or {{{(}}} for INT paramters yet the C code does * the documentation (and the C code) indicate that "1::2" should indeed be acceptable ranges, yet the parser aborts since it takes the first {{{::}}} to separate range and description.
