/*!
 * GibbsExcessVPSSTP is a derived class of ThermoPhase that handles
 * variable pressure standard state methods for calculating
 * thermodynamic properties that are further based on
 * expressing the Excess Gibbs free energy as a function of
 * the mole fractions (or pseudo mole fractions) of constituents.
 * This category is the workhorse for describing molten salts,
 * solid-phase mixtures of semiconductors, and mixtures of miscible
 * and semi-miscible compounds.
 *
 * It includes
 *   - regular solutions
 *   - Margules expansions
 *   - NTRL equation
 *   - Wilson's equation
 *   - UNIQUAC equation of state.
 *
 * This class adds additional functions onto the ThermoPhase interface
 * that handles the calculation of the excess Gibbs free energy. The ThermoPhase
 * class includes a member function, ThermoPhase::activityConvention()
 * that indicates which convention the activities are based on. The
 * default is to assume activities are based on the molar convention.
 * That default is used here.
 *
 * All of the Excess Gibbs free energy formulations in this area employ
 * symmetrical formulations.
 *
 * Chemical potentials
 * of species k, \f$ \mu_o \f$, has the following general format:
 *
 * \f[
 *    \mu_k = \mu^o_k(T,P) + R T ln( \gamma_k X_k )
 * \f]
 *
 * where \f$ \gamma_k^{\triangle} \f$ is a molar based activity coefficient for species
 * \f$k\f$.
 *
 * GibbsExcessVPSSTP contains an internal vector with the current mole
 * fraction vector. That's one of its primary usages. In order to keep the mole fraction
 * vector constant, all of the setState functions are redesigned at this layer.
 *
 *  <H3>
 *        Activity Concentrations: Relationship of %ThermoPhase to %Kinetics Expressions
 * </H3>
 *
 *   As explained in a similar discussion in the ThermoPhase class, the actual units used
 *   in kinetics expressions must be specified in the ThermoPhase class for the corresponding
 *   species. These units vary with the field of study. %Cantera uses the concept of
 *   activity concentrations to represent this. Activity concentrations are used directly
 *   in the expressions for kinetics. Standard concentrations are used as the multiplicative
 *   constant that takes the activity of a species and turns it into an activity concentration.
 *   Standard concentrations must not depend on the concentration of the species in the phase.
 *
 *   Here we set a standard for the specification of the standard concentrations for this class
 *   and all child classes underneath it. We specify here that the standard concentration is
 *   equal to 1 for all species. Therefore, the activities appear directly in kinetics expressions
 *   involving species in underlying %GibbsExcessVPSSTP phases.
 *
 *  <H3>
 *       SetState Strategy
 * </H3>
 *
 *  All setState functions that set the internal state of the ThermoPhase object are
 *  overloaded at this level, so that a current mole fraction vector is maintained within
 *  the object.
