/**
 * \class explicit_stepper_base
 * \brief Base class for explicit steppers without step size control and without dense output.
 *
 * This class serves as the base class for all explicit steppers with algebra and operations.
 * Step size control and error estimation as well as dense output are not provided. explicit_stepper_base 
 * is used as the interface in a CRTP (currently recurring template pattern). In order to work 
 * correctly the parent class needs to have a method `do_step_impl( system , in , dxdt_in , t , out , dt )`. 
 * This is method is used by explicit_stepper_base. explicit_stepper_base derives from
 * algebra_stepper_base. An example how this class can be used is
 *
 * \code
 * template< class State , class Value , class Deriv , class Time , class Algebra , class Operations , class Resizer >
 * class custom_euler : public explicit_stepper_base< 1 , State , Value , Deriv , Time , Algebra , Operations , Resizer >
 * {
 *  public:
 *     
 *     typedef explicit_stepper_base< 1 , State , Value , Deriv , Time , Algebra , Operations , Resizer > base_type;
 *
 *     custom_euler( const Algebra &algebra = Algebra() ) { }
 * 
 *     template< class Sys , class StateIn , class DerivIn , class StateOut >
 *     void do_step_impl( Sys sys , const StateIn &in , const DerivIn &dxdt , Time t , StateOut &out , Time dt )
 *     {
 *         m_algebra.for_each3( out , in , dxdt , Operations::scale_sum2< Value , Time >( 1.0 , dt );
 *     }
 *
 *     template< class State >
 *     void adjust_size( const State &x )
 *     {
 *         base_type::adjust_size( x );
 *     }
 * };
 * \endcode
 *
 * For the Stepper concept only the `do_step( sys , x , t , dt )` needs to be implemented. But this class
 * provides additional `do_step` variants since the stepper is explicit. These methods can be used to increase
 * the performance in some situation, for example if one needs to analyze `dxdt` during each step. In this case 
 * one can use 
 *
 * \code
 * sys( x , dxdt , t );
 * stepper.do_step( sys , x , dxdt , t , dt );  // the value of dxdt is used here
 * t += dt;
 * \endcode
 *
 * In detail explicit_stepper_base provides the following `do_step` variants
 *   - `do_step( sys , x , t , dt )` - The classical `do_step` method needed to fulfill the Stepper concept. The state is updated in-place.
 *      A type modelling a Boost.Range can be used for x.
 *   - `do_step( sys , in , t , out , dt )` - This method updates the state out-of-place, hence the result of the step is stored in `out`.
 *   - `do_step( sys , x , dxdt , t , dt )` - This method updates the state in-place, but the derivative at the point `t` must be
 *      explicitly passed in `dxdt`. For an example see the code snippet above.
 *   - `do_step( sys , in , dxdt , t , out , dt )` - This method update the state out-of-place and expects that the derivative at the point 
 *     `t` is explicitly passed in `dxdt`. It is a combination of the two `do_step` methods above.
 *
 * \note The system is always passed as value, which might result in poor performance if it contains data. In this case it can be used with `boost::ref`
 * or `std::ref`, for example `stepper.do_step( boost::ref( sys ) , x , t , dt );`
 *
 * \note The time `t` is not advanced by the stepper. This has to done manually, or by the appropriate `integrate` routines or `iterator`s.
 *
 * \tparam Stepper The stepper on which this class should work. It is used via CRTP, hence explicit_stepper_base
 * provides the interface for the Stepper.
 * \tparam Order The order of the stepper.
 * \tparam State The state type for the stepper.
 * \tparam Value The value type for the stepper. This should be a floating point type, like float,
 * double, or a multiprecision type. It must not necessary be the value_type of the State. For example
 * the State can be a `vector< complex< double > >` in this case the Value must be double.
 * The default value is double.
 * \tparam Deriv The type representing time derivatives of the state type. It is usually the same type as the
 * state type, only if used with Boost.Units both types differ.
 * \tparam Time The type representing the time. Usually the same type as the value type. When Boost.Units is
 * used, this type has usually a unit.
 * \tparam Algebra The algebra type which must fulfill the Algebra Concept.
 * \tparam Operations The type for the operations which must fulfill the Operations Concept.
 * \tparam Resizer The resizer policy class.
