Purpose

Closes #40. Please see the issue for some discussion on the performance penalty compared to hard-coded values for the exponents.

• Documentation update
• Maintenance update

Testing

I plan to add a test with non-default exponents in a subsequent PR where I will add a test for MultiUSMesh.

Checklist

• I have run flake8 and black to make sure the code adheres to PEP-8 and is consistently formatted
• I have run unit and regression tests which pass locally with my changes

@eirikurj @SichengHe could you take a look at this some time? It would be really helpful to get this feature merged.
