-Compatibility shim for vendor packages that expect FEMBase types.
-
-Since we've consolidated FEMBase into JuliaFEM, we need to provide
-the FEMBase module namespace for backward compatibility with code
-that uses FEMBase.function_name().
-
-This creates a minimal FEMBase module with function forwarding.
-Type aliases are added after all types are defined.
-"""
-module FEMBase
-
-# Note: We can only create function aliases here, not type aliases,
-# because not all types have been defined yet when this module is included.
-
-# Forward declarations for functions that exist at this point
-# We'll add more after types are defined

-end # module FEMBase
