Description
Desired capability or behavior.
For 2DOF phases that need to use distance as the integration variable, some places in phase_info require users to know about this and place distance-related values and units in the time-related options. See here for an example.
Any user-facing API should always refer to the "correct" variable, and never require users to know about and manually account for the aliasing we do under-the-hood to trick dymos.
