Force final step to be restartable option #719

Hi, I suggest including an option to force the code to write a final timestep as a restartable checkpoint. This issue is of minor importance, it is rather about comfort.

Yes i agree it makes sense

Well, actually does this make sense? If the simulation is finished, then there is no point in doing a checkpoint. It cannot be restarted as it is already over. I guess you can change the simulation_time when you restart, but this is not good practice as some simulation parameters may depend on it.
