Okay.  Thinking it through, I'm not as scared by that as I thought - a
good assembly code already re-queries the number of quadrature points
on each element, in case the element's type has changed from one to
the next on a hybrid grid.  So it would take some
very-overly-aggressive optimization to write an app code that would be
broken by an adaptive quadrature rule underneath it.

I noticed you skipped my "what's your method and motivation" question.
In my mind the answer is now "Multiscale nuclear physics, and if I
told you any more we'd have to kill you."

Sounds good.
