// .NAME vtkMultiTimeStepAlgorithm - Superclass for algorithms that would like to
//  make multiple time requests
// .SECTION Description
// This class can be inherited by any algorithm that wishes to make multiple
// time requests upstream.
// The child class uses UPDATE_TIME_STEPS to make the time requests and
// use set of time-stamped data objects are stored in time order
// in a vtkMultiBlockDataSet object.
