It's not everything... but we can also "promote" elements programmatically. We already support mesh.all_second_order() to promote first order mesh to second order mesh. We could do the same thing for these more exotic types... read in first (or second) order geometry and then promote them (by adding extra nodes, etc.) programmatically.
