  /// Spines are used for algebraic node update operations in free-surface
  /// fluid problems: They form the back-bones along which nodes in a
  /// a free-surface mesh are located. Typically, the free surface is
  /// located at the "end" of the spine; the nodes in the interior
  /// of the mesh are located at fixed fractions along the spine. The
  /// key Data member of the Spine object is its "height" --
  /// usually an unknown in the problem -- which is used by the
  /// SpineNode's node update function to update the SpineNode's position.
  ///
  /// In more complex problems (such as the case where a fluid layer is
  /// deposited on an elastic body), the node update function can depend on
  /// additional information, such as the GeomObject representation of the
  /// elastic body, and additional Data objects wich
  /// specify the position on the GeomObject from which the Spine
  /// emanates. The Spine class therefore provides storage for
  /// pointers to GeomObjects and storage for any additional geometric
  /// Data that may be required during node update operations.
