Re: $finish and final_step

Hi again,

another question crosses my mind about that: the current draft states
that "Calling $fatal results in an implicit call to $finish" (p218).
Should the final_step blocks really be executed when $fatal is called ?
I would have put a simple simulation exit at convergence here.
