Fine with me.

I don't really care about memory or time, but I care about having more
concepts, more ways to do the same thing (with no preference for one
over another), and more code to maintain (and for new developers to
learn about).

*If* the DAE distinguishes algebraic and differential variables, we can
have a command-line option that sets the corresponding entries of
vatol[] to +Infinity.
