Replaces the
RecursiveApplymodule with a new interface that follows the opposite design pattern: instead of defining functions forTuples andNamedTuples that need to be called inFields,Operators,MatrixFields, and sometimes even inClimaAtmos, we can now use a wrapper forTuples andNamedTuples that behaves the same way when passed to any standard math function. This should make it easy to decouple iteration over field variables from most of ClimaCore's internals.The new interface can be extended to any iterator type
Tby defining the methodis_auto_broadcastable(::T) = true, as long asTis compatible withUnrolledUtilities.jl. The@auto_broadcaster_argsannotation provides a convenient shorthand for extending the new interface to arbitrary functions ofNumbers orAbstractArrays, automatically broadcasting those functions overTuples,NamedTuples, andAutoBroadcasterss. This annotation can also be used to add methods for any other typeT, with the resulting behavior depending on whetheris_auto_broadcastableistruefor that type.
