[yt-dev] New code frontend

[Jill Naiman]

Hi Nicola,

I am also interested in supporting Voroni-Delaunay tessellations so feel
free to keep me in the loop!  I was going to try to start writing a front
end for Arepo at some point (which uses them), but I didn't have a specific
time schedule in mind.

Cheers,
-Jill
