Comment (by wd15):
The BinaryTerms should consolidate terms of different types: all 2nd order
DiffusionTerms, all ConvectionTerms, etc. When solve() or sweep() is
called, _buildMatrix() can then determine the Peclet number for the
equation as a whole and pass it to each Term. Most Terms will ignore it,
but ConvectionTerms will use as they see fit.
Note, the ConvectionTerms must all be the same type. E.g., it doesn't mean
anything(?) to add a PowerLawConvectionTerm to an UpwindConvectionTerm.
