create a multigrid method and achieve parallelism in the time dimension.

# Advice to users {#advice}

The field of parallel-in-time methods is in many ways under development, and
success has been shown primarily for problems with some parabolic character.
While there are ongoing projects (here and elsewhere) looking at varied
applications such as hyperbolic problems, computational fluid dynamics, power
grids, medical applications, and so on, expectations should take this fact into
account. That being said, we strongly encourage new users to try our code for
their application. Every new application has its own issues to address and
this will help us to improve both the algorithm and the software.
