I was going back and updating some older code and I found an undesirable 
vector interface change for some of my code.   It use to be that Vector 
was just a typedef to the particular vector that was installed (either 
PETSc or uBlas), and the '+' and '*' operator was overloaded in each of 
these. Now it looks like there is some attempts at making a smarter 
wrapper and the '+' and '*' operators are no longer overloaded for the 
Vector Class.  For example the code below works if you replace Vector 
with either PETScVector or uBlasVector, but not as is.  Is this the way 
the current implementation is meant to be, a bug, or am I missing 
something obvious here?

#include <dolfin.h>

using namespace dolfin;

int main()
{
 Vector test(0.0);
 Vector one(1.0);
 Vector iter(0.0);

 iter = test + 2*one;
}
