/**
 * \ingroup mobility
 * \brief Helper class which can read ns-2 movement files and configure nodes mobility.
 *
 * This implementation is based on the ns2 movement documentation of ns2
 * as described in http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node172.html
 *
 * Valid trace files use the following ns2 statements:
 \verbatim
   $node set X_ x1
   $node set Y_ y1
   $node set Z_ z1
   $ns at $time $node setdest x2 y2 speed
   $ns at $time $node set X_ x1
   $ns at $time $node set Y_ Y1
   $ns at $time $node set Z_ Z1
 \endverbatim
 *
 * Note that initial position statements may also appear at the end of
 * the mobility file like this:
 \verbatim
   $ns at $time $node setdest x2 y2 speed
   $ns at $time $node set X_ x1
   $ns at $time $node set Y_ Y1
   $ns at $time $node set Z_ Z1
   $node set X_ x1
   $node set Y_ y1
   $node set Z_ z1
 \endverbatim
 *
 * The following tools are known to support this format:
 *  - BonnMotion http://net.cs.uni-bonn.de/wg/cs/applications/bonnmotion/
 *  - SUMO http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/sumo/index.php?title=Main_Page
 *  - TraNS http://trans.epfl.ch/
 *
 *  See usage example in examples/mobility/ns2-mobility-trace.cc
 *
 * \bug Rounding errors may cause movement to diverge from the mobility
 * pattern in ns-2 (using the same trace).
 * See https://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1316
