!!jc1: For agrif, it would be much better to finalize tracers/momentum here (e.g. bdy conditions) and move the swap 
!!    (and time filtering) after Agrif update. Then restart would be done after and would contain updated fields. 
!!    If so: 
!!    (i) no need to call agrif update at initialization time
!!    (ii) no need to update "before" fields 
!!
!!    Apart from creating new tra_swp/dyn_swp routines, this however: 
!!    (i) makes boundary conditions at initialization time computed from updated fields which is not the case between 
!!    two restarts => restartability issue. One can circumvent this, maybe, by assuming "interface separation", 
!!    e.g. a shift of the feedback interface inside child domain. 
!!    (ii) requires that all restart outputs of updated variables by agrif (e.g. passive tracers/tke/barotropic arrays) are done at the same
!!    place.
