/*!
 *  PseudoBinaryVPSSTP is a derived class of ThermoPhase
 *  GibbsExcessVPSSTP 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.
 *
 *  This layer will massage the mole fraction vector to implement
 *  cation and anion based mole numbers in an optional manner
 *
 *  The way that it collects the cation and anion based mole numbers
 *  is via holding two extra ThermoPhase objects. These
 *  can include standard states for salts.
