Any further thoughts on this? It's important we get this right.

I can live with

  LinearVariationalProblem
  NonlinearVariationalProblem

if everyone else thinks that's the best option, but don't really like
it since it's very long. Another option (if we don't go for the F = 0
option) is

  VariationalProblem
