Unfortunately, this is not so easy because SeqPulsarReph is just a container 
which gets its elements from SeqPulsar. An easier way to use a different 
gradient pulse with the same integral is to use 
SeqPulsar::get_reph_gradintegral() and then to create a custom gradient, e.g. 
using SeqGradTrapez, with this integral.

Yes, it is taken from and calculated in SeqPulsar.

I think one can make the virtual function private (and empty) to prohibit 
direct access. However, it can still be accessesed via a reference/pointer to 
the base class...
