Does it, but how well?  It looks like the higher order coefficients
are getting added to the file, fine, but I don't see how they're
supposed to end up being accurately visualized.  How is a VTK reader
going to know whether a given higher order DoF index is the
coefficient of a quadratic interpolatory function in a Lagrange basis,
a quartic bubble function in a hierarchic basis, or a normal flux
function in a cubic macroelement Clough-Tocher basis?
