The old transformation introduced boundary layers inside +cells that prevented convergence rates to exceed 3.5 in the global L2 errors +on typical settings, whereas all derivatives in the mapping from unit to real +cell are bounded by the derivatives of the manifold description. This change +also considerably improves mesh quality on settings where curved descriptions +were only applied to the boundary rather than the whole volume. +
