The *runge_kutta()* function implements the classical first- (Euler), second- and fourth-order Runge--Kutta time integrators for evolution equations of the form
$$
\frac{\partial\mathbf{u}}{\partial t} = L(\mathbf{u}, t)
$$
with $\mathbf{u}$ a vector (i.e. list) of evolving fields and $L()$ a generic, user-defined operator.
Given $\mathbf{u}$, the initial time *t*, a timestep *dt* and the function $L()$ which should fill *kl* with the right-hand-side of the evolution equation, the function below will return $\mathbf{u}$ at time $t + dt$ using the Runge--Kutta scheme specified by *order*.
