Out of curiosity, why do you call your main entrypoint "fluid" if you only compute ideal gas properties?

To avoid the discussion where around the critical point it is a gas or not a gas ;) Sure, for ideal gases it’s quite clear; however I’m looking for adding real gas behavior to capture high density supercritical fluids - being able to model high pressure processes. For example for the synthesis of hydrocarbons and chemical compound made from nitrogen and hydrogen.
