I think two remaining features to implement are:

1. Loading Functions (DiscreteFunction) from file.

2. An interface for projecting/interpolating between Functions. The
main example which requires some manual work in solvers is defining
the initial values by a UserFunction and wanting to represent that as
a DiscreteFunction.

We've discussed both of these before, and I think we're pretty clear
on what needs to be done. I think we should at least try to get these
in before 0.6.0 since they are quite fundamental features.
