Re: $finish and final_step

Hello Xavier,

yes, $finish should cleanly stop the simulation by converging on this timestep 
and executing any final_step blocks.

$stop should converge on the current timestep but not execute final_step blocks.

Main difference between $finish and $stop is that $stop is more like a pause - 
the simulation can be resumed. $finish terminates the simulation.

I am not sure why this is not highlighted in the LRM - I know that we discuss 
the simulation control tasks but seems that adding in this behaviour explicitly 
was missed. I will make a note to get it added into next draft of 2.3


Cheers...
Dave
