Yes. Maybe there can be some automation for specifying boundary
conditions on a higher level, but the correct way to do this is
probably to let each module specify a list of possible boundary
conditions, since the available boundary conditions will depend on the
equation (like "outflow boundary conditions" for Navier-Stokes).
The module would choose how to implement the boundary conditions, like
strong or weak.
