    Pathway(sequence::Sequence, pulse_effects::Vector{:Symbol/Number}, readout_index=1; group=nothing)

Describes how a specific spin/isochromat might experience the sequence.

Only a single pathway through the RF pulses is considered,
so that at every point in time the spins are in one of the following four states:
- +longitudinal: initial relaxed state
- +transverse: excited state. During this time gradients will affect the [`area_under_curve`](@ref) (or [`qval`](@ref)) and [`bval`](@ref).
- -longitudinal: inverse state
- -transverse: inverse excited state. During this time all gradients will have the inverse effect compared with +transverse.

The RF pulses cause mappings between these different states as described below.

## Parameters
- `sequence`: MRI [`Sequence`](@ref) to be considered.
- `pulse_effects`: How each RF pulse affects the spins. This can be one of the following:
    - `:skip`/`:ignore`/0: This RF pulse leaves the spins unaffected.
    - `:refocus`/`:invert`/180: Flips the sign of the spin state (i.e., +longitudinal <-> -longitudinal, +transverse <-> -transverse)
    - `:excite`/90: Takes spin state one step along the following sequence +longitudinal -> +transverse -> -longitudinal -> -transverse -> +longitudinal
    - `:neg_excite`/270/-90: Inverse step compared with `:excite`.
- `readout_index`: After encountering the number of pulses as defined in `pulse_effects`, continue the `Pathway` until the readout given by `index` is reached. If set to 0 the `Pathway` is terminated immediately after the last RF pulse.
- `group`: which gradient grouping to consider for the `qvec` and `bmat`. If not set, all gradients will be considered (using their current alignment).

## Attributes
Over the pathway the following values are computed. Each can be accessed by calling the appropriate function:

### Timings
- [`duration_state`](@ref): The total amount of time spent in a specific state in this pathway (+longitudinal, +transverse, -longitudinal, or -transverse)
- [`duration_transverse`](@ref): The total amount of time the spins spent in the transverse plane in ms. This can be used to quantify the expected effect of T2-decay.
- [`duration_dephase`](@ref): The total amount of time the spins spent in the +transverse relative to -transverse state in ms. The absolute value of this can be used to quantify the expected effect of T2'-decay.

### Effect of gradients
The area under curve, q-values, and b-values are computed separately for each group of gradients (depending on the `group` keyword set during construction).
- [`qvec`](@ref): Net displacement vector in k-space/q-space.
- [`qval`](@ref)/[`area_under_curve`](@ref): size of the displacement in k-space/q-space. For a spoiled pathway, this should be large compared with 1/voxel size; for unspoiled pathways it should be (close to) zero.
- [`bmat`](@ref): Net diffusion weighting due to gradients along the `Pathway` in matrix form.
- [`bval`](@ref): Net diffusion weighting due to gradients along the `Pathway` as a single number.
