Well… of course the user doing this would have to be aware of what they are 
doing and do the right thing.

Interesting - I hadn't thought of that.  Well, if find_neighbors() breaks you 
should still be able to have a separate piece of the mesh that is 1D and copy 
values back and forth between the two pieces.  You can even add more entries to 
the sparsity pattern and send_list so that it "ties" the two pieces of the mesh 
together.

The reason I'm in this discussion is that we're going to be doing something 
similar soon.
