OMG!  The nightmares are coming back to me!  Oh the hours spent  
debugging refinement / coarsening algorithms for each Sierra  
application!  Oh god no!  Since every application could hang whatever  
data it wanted to off of mesh structures there were these extremely  
complicated "prolongation" and "restriction" algorithms that were run  
whenever h-adaptivity happened.  Oh the horrors.

Many people who work on Sierra _still_ don't believe me whenever I  
tell them that you don't have to hand code prolongation / restriction  
algorithms for h-adaptivity with libmesh.....

Ok - off my soapbox.

Be wary of the apple with a snake in it (or something)...
