description:
Enable multiplication of vector expressions with numeric constants
(expression must no longer be scalar). Simplifies expressions like
u = 0.5*(u0 + u1) when u0 and u1 are vectors.

Update TODO list (need to write about lhs and rhs in manual)

description:
Add new operators lhs() and rhs() for simple extraction of
left- and right-hand sides for nontrivial forms (no need to
manually shuffle terms to the right-hand side).

Example: cG(1) time-stepping for the heat equation

Instead of writing

  a = v*u*dx + 0.5*k*dot(grad(v), grad(u))*dx
  L = v*u0*dx - 0.5*k*dot(grad(v), grad(u0))*dx

one may write

  F = v*(u - u0)*dx + k*dot(grad(v), grad(0.5*(u0 + u)))*dx

and then

  a = lhs(F)
  L = rhs(F)
