+ *   properties of a finite element space as defined on the unit
+ *   cell. This includes, for example, how many degrees of freedom are
+ *   located at vertices, on lines, or in the interior of cells. In
+ *   addition to this, finite element classes of course have to
+ *   provide values and gradients of individual shape functions at
+ *   points on the unit cell.
