Excellent.


 So I'd like to be able to enforce --implicit_neighbor_dofs=false, even if

Making it take a following argument instead of just being a boolean flag
sounds good...


 Any preferences on how to change the API to allow that? Perhaps a second

The following is untested, but seems to compile.  The API stays the same
but we additionally look for a following argument to
--implicit_neighbor_dofs which, if false, immediately returns false
from DofMap::use_coupled_neighbor_dofs without checking if all the
variables are discontinuous.
