Ok, good plan. I'd also like to review the TimeDependentPDE class
before release. It's related to the linear algebra and to the ODE
solvers. For example, it depends on both DenseVector (from ODE) and
Vector (for storing dofs), so it requires that those have a consistent
relationship and that there exists functions to translate between
them.
