+ * @brief A class that represents a coefficient for the NeoFOAM DSL.

+ * This class stores a single scalar coefficient and optionally span of values.
+ * It is used to delay the evaluation of a scalar multiplication with a field to
+ * avoid the creation of a temporary field copy.
+ * It provides an indexing operator `operator[]` that returns the evaluated value at the specified
