Currently IntersectionDetector returns only the cell indices of the
intersection of two meshes. It is desirable for some applications, perhaps
with a codimension parameter, to return a new mesh object that would be the
actual intersection. For my particular application it would be useful to
have thr line segment intersection (or at least the points) of a line
passing through a tetrahedron. Would this be a reasonable extension to the
Intersection Detector, is it already subsumed by other functionality within
FEniCS, or perhaps is viewed as outside the scope of the FEniCS project?
