 * OLD VERSION THAT JUST GETS THE NAMES - COULD HAVE A SERIES OF EXCHANGES TO GET THE NAMES, INIT VALUES, RANGES, ETC. INSTEAD OF PASSING PARAMETERS
 * THIS INCREASES THE GENERALITY OF THE CODE, I.E. THERE IS NO NEED FOR THE SLAVES TO KNOW ANY LAURA++ CLASS BUT THIS ONE, BUT MAKES IT RATHER MORE DENSE
 * FOR THE MOMENT I WILL STICK WITH THE METHOD OF PASSING LAUPARAMETER OBJECTS AROUND AND CONSIDER GOING BACK TO THIS GENERAL METHOD ONCE EVERYTHING IS WORKING
