Description: A framework which provides users a set of useful primitive
        elements for specifying individual based simulation models,
        with special attention models for infectious disease
        epidemiology. Users build models by specifying variables for
        each characteristic of individuals in the simulated population
        by using data structures exposed by the package. The package
        provides efficient methods for finding subsets of individuals
        based on these variables, or cohorts. Cohorts can then be
        targeted for variable updates or scheduled for events. Variable
        updates queued during a time step are executed at the end of a
        discrete time step, and the code places no restrictions on how
        individuals are allowed to interact. These data structures are
        designed to provide an intuitive way for users to turn their
        conceptual model of a system into executable code, which is
        fast and memory efficient.
