@brief muscle - a set of functions and classes for simulation musculotendon
dynamics. This addon is maintained by Matthew Millard, so if
you have problems with it email him.

\b Requirements
This addon depends on the geometry addon
\b Description
This addon currently contains an optimized library for creating specialized
curves that describe phenomenological curves for line-type muscles
-fiber active-force-length curve
-fiber force-velocity curve
-fiber passive-force-length curve
-tendon force-length curve
and torque-type muscles
-active torque-angle curve
-active torque-velocity curve
-passive torque-angle curve
In addition, there is a class that can be used to package the memory and
functions required to model torque muscles: Millard2016TorqueMuscle.
\b Future Development
In the near future this library will also contain
1. Torque-type muscle models with
a. Elastic tendons
b. Short-range-stiffness
2. An implementation of the line-type muscle Millard2012Equilibrium muscle model
which features the option of using rigid and elastic tendons, and a damped/
undamped formulation.
3. An novel implemenation of 2D muscle wrapping using an obstacle set of
smooth convex shapes described using Pythagorean hodographs.
