I just noticed that FE::get_normals(), get_tangents() and other related methods
in that class
return vectors of "Points". Any desire to change these return types to
VectorValue types?
Sadly no - we'd hose backwards compatibility if we did. You can
initialize a Point from a VectorValues, but you can't initialize a
reference to a container of Points from a container of VectorValues.
We might as well wait until we're abstracting those containers more
anyway to handle the instruction vectorization problems that Derek
first noticed.
I agree that the VectorValue->TypeVector->Point hierarchy is a little
dubious, though.
