Function to set up a kinetic model with one or more state variables.

\description{
- The function takes a specification, consisting of a list of the observed variables
- in the data. Each observed variable is again represented by a list, specifying the
- kinetic model type and reaction or transfer to other observed compartments.
+ The function usually takes several expressions, each assigning a compound name to
+ a list, specifying the kinetic model type and reaction or transfer to other
+ observed compartments. Instead of specifying several expressions, a list
+ of lists can be given in the speclist argument.
+
+ For the definition of model types and their parameters, the equations given
+ in the FOCUS and NAFTA guidance documents are used.
