Sure. In think that TimeDependent makes most clear what's going on.

I tried this to start with, and it initially didn't work because I didn't
intialise real* t to null (I'm still learning). It works fine now.

If everyone is happy with it, I can change Function to derive from TimeDependent
and remove the time functions.
