Setting up the System

 * Is the integrator actually a part of the system?

Updateing Variables

 * Example of a problematic case: Rescaling of the box:
 * Is  called?
 * If yes, this does not fit well to Python Guidelines, as this will e.g. reinit LB boundaries, which is costly.
 * If no, it needs to be called when  is called? Or when?

Particle Creation
How are particles created?

Variant 1

 * Creates a particle, returns a handle
 * shows that the particle does not exist independently

Variant 2

 * What happens when a particle is created but it is not yet inserted into system?

Particle Access
How can we access particles?
 * Generic hashable values as a key for a particle? Can  be used as a dict?
 * Getting the various particle data as a NumPy array?
