Description
This branch makes it possible to use "foreign" modules inside Basilisk. In this case, foreign means that the module does not have to confirm to the Basilisk framework, particularly that SWIG is not required. It uses address access to be able to attach modules and messages to the Basilisk simulation context.
Verification
The verification for this update is basically that the modules do not break the existing use cases. However, going forward, non-SWIG modules (using pybind for example) could be added to Basilisk along with the associated dependencies.
Documentation
Undocumented. This is the deep dark heart of Basilisk.
Future work
I'm doing most of my research using pybind, and we can talk about adding those modules back into Basilisk using this mechanism if it makes sense.
