 * FieldLayoutUser is a base class for all classes which need to use
 * a FieldLayout - it is derived from User, which provides a virtual
 * function 'notifyUserOfDelete' which is called when the FieldLayout
 * is deleted, and the virtual function 'Repartition' which is called
 * when a Field needs to be redistributed between processors.
