[lispAppArchiver getWithZone: self key: "modelSwarm"] will create and
load a ready-to-use object as specified by the MAKE-INSTANCE
expression associated with the 'modelSwarm key in the application's
.scm file.  If you want to have a ModelSwarm with ad-hoc control over
loading subcomponents, you can add a class that holds its parameters
and then, somewhere in a ModelSwarm method, ask for a key having a
(make-instance 'Parameter [etc]) value.
