Draft: make the generic functions consistent

David Schäferrequested to merge
generic into develop

Addresses #232 (closed), #205 (closed),

TODOs:

  • fix docstrings
  • more tests
  • cleanup
  • merge develop
  • prepare description
  • bring back isflagged

Summary

In order to make the generic functions consistent with all other test functions (see #205 (closed) for details on the consistency issues) and still keep the useful, this MR basically implements a non-scalar field parameters as outlined in #205 (closed). With these changes in place, we now support:

  • univariate functions: iterative execution of functions as described in points 1, 2, 3, 4 in the table in #205 (closed)
  • multivariate functions:

There are a couple of major changes:

  • The decorators processing and flagging got a new parameter called multi.
  • We pass another kwargs argument to all functions, namely target.
  • Flags.__getitem__ now supports Sequences to slice a Flag object.
