    /*!
     * AbstractStrategy defines an abstract interface for saving eigenvectors
     * and eigenvalues that are computed at each continuation step.  This
     * is important because this data is often useful for restarting
     * continuations near bifurcation points and gives the user flexibility
     * in how this data is stored.
     *
     * The interface currently defines one pure virtual method,
     * save(), to save any eigenvectors or values as specified by the user.
     * Derived classes should implement this method for a particular strategy
     * to save this data, which is usually highly application code dependent.
     * Constructors for derived classes should be of the form:
     *
     * \code
     * class Derived : public AbstractStrategy {
     * public:
     *   Derived(
     *   const Teuchos::RCP<LOCA::GlobalData>& global_data,
     *   const Teuchos::RCP<LOCA::Parameter::SublistParser>& topParams,
     const Teuchos::RCP<Teuchos::ParameterList>& eigenParams);
     *   ...
     * };
     * \endcode
     *
     * where \c global_data is the LOCA global data object, \c topParams is
     * the parsed top-level parameter list, and \c eigenParams
     * is a parameter list of eigensolver parameters.  This list should also
     * specify which and how many eigenvectors/values to save as defined
     * by the strategy.
     *
     * This class and its children follow the Strategy pattern as defined
     * in Erich Gamma, et al. "Design Patterns:  Elements of Reusable
     * Object-Oriented Software." Addison Wesley, Boston, MA, 1995.
