 `~kwant.operator.current`) can be directly plotted as a streamplot over the
 system using `kwant.plotter.current`. This is similar to how
 `kwant.plotter.map` can be used to plot quantities defined on sites.

+Remove site() method from finalized Builders
+--------------------------------------------
+The `site` method of finalized builders has been deprecated since before
+Kwant 1.1. Instead of this method one can get a list of sites from the
+`sites` attribute of finalized builders.
