I was thinking about this many times, and discussed it with Bruno and Chiara. The reason to not do that is that we don't want to do things behind user's back, since he/she is supposed to understand what is going on. (Currently, Cell::integrateAndUpdate is called in such a hidden way.) OTOH your reasoning is valid as well. I prefer to keep it explicit, and I might add a check at the beginning of InteractionLoop, which would say that you might have forgotten to use ForceResetter. Would that be OK?
