One other minor thought: the lack of growth going from 16 to 32 bits
makes it tempting to make 32 bits the default - however, if 16 bits is
sufficient for you I'd like to stick with that (unless the user makes
a configure-time decision to the contrary).  I still fantasize about
adding anisotropic p adaptivity one day, and my various half-baked
ideas for doing so would use up the rest of the padding bytes in the
16-bit-subdomain_id case or would tack another 8 bytes onto the
structure in the 32-bit-subdomain_id case.
