fields::m (which is actually of type double) is for cylindrical 
coordinates, where the fields go like exp(i*m*phi).

(In any cylindrical simulation that includes the origin, m must be an 
integer.  However for simulations that don't include the origin, m can be 
a non-integer value, which is useful for some types of waveguide-bend 
calculations.)
