I promise I will preserve the Elem *elem syntax, which is ubiquitous.

Beyond that, I'm going to be flying tomorrow and Friday with a lot of time
to think about what to do here.  I'd like to shave memory off of these
special cases, i.e. all node dofs or all element dofs.  I think that can be
done without (gasp) resorting to templates.

It would be the special case that "I have N variables, they are all use the
same interpolation, so optimize at will" that would be harder.  Note,
however, that the sparsity pattern computation could benefit immensely, so
it is worth thinking about a little more.
