I actually need this when k is not an integer which means that it cannot
be done exactly, even with enough quadrature points.  For the case when
k is an integer greater than 2, it is likely not desirable to perform
the integration exactly because it entails too many quadrature points
(perhaps for k=2 as well) so my understanding is that you must make a
separate form to computes the nonlinear part.
