Does ParallelStencil.jl support staggered grid implementations?

Yes, it does. Most of the examples actually use a staggered grid. [Here](https://github.com/omlins/ParallelStencil.jl/blob/1cbd6c98801680f4d6a5a84740b42bcbc4de42f2/miniapps/Stokes2D.jl#L78) you can see an example of array allocations for a 2D Stokes flow problem, which relies on a staggered grid. @luraess @samo
