ImplementationPrefs 

These items ideally shouldn't be in a specification which deals with 
a description of the physiology of the channel. However, some channels won't be properly
implemented in the scripting mechanism of given simulator using the standard mappings
unless these factors are taken into account, e.g. if the rate equations change rapidly,
but the default table size isn't large enough.
