Simulation-class

A simulation is a set of references to simulator objects that have been
saved to file. The DrawsRef, OutputRef, and EvalsRef objects are organized
by model into separate lists.

A framework for performing simulations such as those common in
methodological statistics papers. The design principles of this package
are described in greater depth in Bien, J. (2016) "The simulator: An Engine
to Streamline Simulations," which is available at <arXiv:1607.00021>.
