Building a generic base class for all multisynapse neuron models

[golosio]

There is a significant superposition in the code of all multisynapse neuron models. For code revision, maintenance, introduction of new models, a more efficient solution would be to have a generic base class (or maybe a template class) multisynapse_neuron, which contains the common code and from which all multisynapse neuron models could be derived.
Also, there is probably no reason to bind an instance of this model to a single conductance/psc model: in principle one could have in the same neuron, for example, one port for conductance-based synapses modeled by alpha function, another for psc_exp synapses, etc. This could be achieved by separating the code for synaptic current from that for generic multisynapse neuron.

@golosio Would you consider closing this issue, since NESTML will provide a much more general solution?

Sure...
