What is your motivation for wanting to second-guess the DoF indexing
to begin with?  It's probably not, "I wish my code would break if I
changed one of the variables' approximation orders", so there's got to
be some other problem which you're trying to solve.  Whatever that
problem is, there ought to be a better way to solve it.  Either
there's a DofObject or DofMap API that can do what you want, and you
should use it... or there isn't such an API, and we should add it.

Independent Systems have independently indexed DoF coefficient
vectors; they overlap.  If I'm understanding your notation right, then
d1_c2_v1s2=d1_c2_v1s1.
