 This time there are multiple stencils for multiple derivative orders - these can be written as a matrix S.
 All components that multiply u(0) are factored out, turns out to only involve the first colum of S, s̄0. The rest of S is denoted S`. the coeff of u(0) is s̄0⋅ᾱ[3:end] + α[2].
 the remaining components turn out to be ᾱ[3:end]⋅(S`ū`) or equivalantly (transpose(ᾱ[3:end])*S`)⋅ū`. Rearranging, a stencil q_a to be dotted with ū` upon extension can readily be found, along with a constant component q_b

Subject: [PATCH 42/59] moved boundary padded arrays to their own file, put
 concretizations in to conretizations.jl. Added a new method for BridgeBC to
 make it easy to connect two domains to each other

+A multiple dimensional BC, supporting arbitrary BCs at each boundary point.
+To construct an arbitrary BC, pass an Array of BCs with dimension one less than that of your domain u - denoted N,
+with a size of size(u)[setdiff(1:N, dim)], where dim is the dimension orthogonal to the boundary that you want to extend.
+
+It is also possible to call
+    Q_dim = MultiDimBC(YourBC, size(u), dim)
+to use YourBC for the whole boundary orthogonal to that dimension.
+
+Further, it is possible to call
+Qx, Qy, Qz... = MultiDimBC(YourBC, size(u))
+to use YourBC for the whole boundary for all dimensions. Valid for any number of dimensions greater than 1.
+However this is only valid for Robin/General type BCs (including neummann/dirichlet) when the grid steps are equal in each dimension - including uniform grid case.
+
+In the case where you want to extend the same Robin/GeneralBC to the whole boundary with a non unifrom grid, please use
+    Qx, Qy, Qz... = RobinBC(l, r, (dx::Vector, dy::Vector, dz::Vector ...), approximation_order, size(u))
+or
+    Qx, Qy, Qz... = GeneralBC(αl, αr, (dx::Vector, dy::Vector, dz::Vector ...), approximation_order, size(u))
+
+There are also constructors for NeumannBC, DirichletBC, Neumann0BC and Dirichlet0BC. Simply replace dx with the tuple as above, and append size(u) to the argument signature.
+The order is a required argument in this case.
+
+where dx, dy, and dz are vectors of grid steps.

-
-Creates two BC operators that join array `u1` to `u2` at the `hilo1` end ("high" or "low" index end) of dimension `dim1`, and joins `u2` to `u1` with simalar settings given in `hilo2` and `dim2`.
-The ends of `u1` and `u2` that are not connected will use the boundary conditions `bc1` and `bc2` respectively.
-
-Drop `dim1` and `dim2` when your `u1` and `u2` are vectors.
-
-Use `Q1` to extend `u1` and `Q2` to extend `u2`.
-
-When using these with a time/space stepping solve, please use elementwise equals on your u1 and u2 to avoid the need to create new BC operators each time, as follows:
-    u_t1 .= L*Q*u_t0
