NTC thermistor inrush limiter.

Instance Variable	tc	Time constant (seconds). Use timeWarp to speed up the thermal response for your fraction of a second of transient simulation. But watch out for artificial interaction with capacitors with a time warp of more than 1000x.
Instance Variable	df	Dissipation factor (also called dissipation constant), if known (mW/K). (The device's thermal resistance is 1000/df.)
Instance Variable	Iss	Maximum steady-state current (Amps).
Instance Variable	R0	Resistance with no current (full inrush limiting).
Instance Variable	R25	Resistance with 25% Iss.
Instance Variable	R50	Resistance with 50% Iss.
Instance Variable	R75	Resistance with 75% Iss.
Instance Variable	R100	Resistance with 100% Iss.
Method	Rth	Undocumented
Method	TvI	Undocumented
Method	RvI	Undocumented
Method	findCoeffs	Returns coefficients
Method	setup	Sets up my subcircuit:

Inherited from NodeStuff (via Subcircuit):

Instance Variable	shunts	A dict of current sensing V elements with the pairs of nodes they connect.
Class Variable	debug	A `Bag` that gets set `True` for all instances to log info about each `setup` call.
Class Method	autoName	Undocumented
Method	setupResults	Undocumented
Method	fill	Undocumented
Method	nodeCheck	Call with the circuit building tool f and a sequence of nodes provided to this `Include` or `Subcircuit`.
Method	rawNetlist	Get lines of a raw netlist from a search hierarchy of possible sources.
Method	shunt	Call to insert a current-measuring shunt and add an entry to my `Elements` baton's dict of shunts.
Method	raw	See `Elements.raw`.
Method	iNode	See `Elements.iNode`.
Method	ground	See `Elements.ground`.
Method	sca	See `Elements.sca`.
Method	sca6	See `Elements.sca6`.
Class Method	_libDir	Undocumented
Method	_strippedLines	Undocumented
Method	_call_setup	Calls my `setup` method (almost always your override of that method, actually) and processes any return value.
