Allow users to track particles backward with respect to the independent variable s. This requires verifying that the tracking methods implemented are fully reversible. Ideally, this should include space charge as well.

This is useful, for example, to determine an ideal "initial" distribution needed to obtain a target "final distribution" downstream.

It can also be used as a method of chaos detection for studying dynamic aperture.
