An example of why passing step functions to run-k-points might be
useful: simulation of a waveguide in a photonic-crystal slab. The
source position and frequency range can be chosen to mostly excite the
waveguide mode; I might want to output the field and extract the mode
frequency.
Another function: is there a TOTAL flux function (not as a function of
frequency)? For simulations that eventually settle into a steady state
at constant frequency, it is overkill to Fourier transform the flux.

Can you give an example of where it would be useful? Since you will
normally use run-k-points with a broadband source, the fields will
just look like a mess. And because run-k-points does multiple runs,
passing harminv to it directly wouldn't work properly.
