AbstractFieldSet{N<:Int}
Abstract supertype for all field sets, where `N` is the length of the discrete
fields (typically is the number of the nodes in element).
"""

AbstractElement{F, B}
Abstract supertype for all elements.
# Type Parameters
- `F`: Field type (any type-stable container: NamedTuple, struct, etc.)
- `B`: Basis function type (e.g., Lagrange{Triangle,1})
"""
abstract type AbstractElement{F,B} end
"""
Element{N,NIP,F,B} <: AbstractElement{F,B}
Immutable finite element with type-stable fields.
# Type Parameters
- `N`: Number of nodes (compile-time constant)
- `NIP`: Number of integration points (compile-time constant)
- `F`: Field container type (NamedTuple, struct, etc.) - **must be type-stable!**
- `B`: Basis function type (e.g., Lagrange{Triangle,1})
# Fields
- `id`: Element identifier
- `connectivity`: Node IDs as NTuple (zero-cost, immutable)
- `integration_points`: Integration points as NTuple (zero-cost, immutable)
- `fields`: Type-stable field container (can be empty tuple `()` if no fields)
- `basis`: Basis function type instance
# Design Philosophy
- **Type-stable fields**: `F` parameter ensures compile-time type knowledge
- **Immutable**: All fields immutable (GPU-compatible, thread-safe)
- **Zero-allocation**: NTuple for connectivity and IPs
- **GPU-ready**: Immutable fields can be transferred to GPU without copying
# Examples
```julia
# With fields (NamedTuple):
fields = (E = 210e3, ν = 0.3)
el = Element(UInt(1), (1,2,3), (), fields, Lagrange{Triangle,1}())
# Without fields (empty tuple):
el = Element(UInt(1), (1,2,3), (), (), Lagrange{Triangle,1}())
# Access fields (type-stable!):
E = el.fields.E # Float64, known at compile time
```

update!(elements, field_name, data)
Given a list of elements, field name and data, update field to elements. Data
is passed directly to the `field`-function.
# Examples
Create two elements with topology `Seg2`, one is connecting to nodes (1, 2) and
the other is connecting to (2, 3). Some examples of updating fields:
```julia
elements = [Element(Seg2, [1, 2]), Element(Seg2, [2, 3])]
X = Dict(1 => 0.0, 2 => 1.0, 3 => 2.0)
u = Dict(1 => 0.0, 2 => 0.0, 3 => 0.0)
update!(elements, "geometry", X)
update!(elements, "displacement", 0.0 => u)
update!(elements, "youngs modulus", 210.0e9)
update!(elements, "time-dependent force", 0.0 => 0.0)
update!(elements, "time-dependent force", 1.0 => 100.0)
```
When using dictionaries in definition of fields, key of dictionary corresponds
to node id, that is, updating field `geometry` in the example above is updating
values `(0.0, 1.0)` for the first elements and values `(1.0, 2.0)` to the second
element. For time dependent field, syntax `time => data` is used. If field is
initialized without time-dependency, it cannot be changed to be time-dependent
afterwards. If unsure, it's better to initialize field with time dependency.
