That makes sense.  That's the workflow I use for visualization - just
save the results in a "lossless" bzipped xdr/xda format, then turn
them into tecplot or gmv or whatever when I need to later.

It's good to know that DiffSystem is making things easier for more new
users.  On the other hand, that's going to make me feel like a jerk
when I break the API.  Would it mess with your code too badly if I
added an argument like "const FEMContext &context" to many of the
DiffSystem methods (including the user-overridden ones), and then you
had to access variables as "context.elem" instead of just "elem"?
