The \texttt{FEInterfaceValues} class is designed to provide an interface to directly obtain jumps and averages. When used with \texttt{MeshWorker::mesh\_loop()}, we can assemble face integrals in a uniform way independent of mesh types, which significantly simplifies the implementation. - -Internally, this class provides an abstraction for two \texttt{FEFaceValues} objects (or \texttt{FESubfaceValues} when using adaptive refinement). The class introduces new interface degrees of freedom indices that are the union of the degrees of freedom indices of the two \texttt{FEFaceValues} objects. The interface degrees of freedom indices can be converted to the corresponding local degrees of freedom indices of the two cells using a helper function. Furthermore, this class supports vector-valued problems in a similar way as \texttt{FEFaceValues} does. We can easily obtain the corresponding scalar or vector values by providing an \texttt{FEValuesExtractors} object. Overall, this class is intended to be a low level replacement for \texttt{MeshWorker} and \texttt{LocalIntegrators}, and a higher level abstraction compared to assembling face terms manually. - -Examples of \texttt{FEInterfaceValues} for scalar problems can be found in \texttt{step-12}, \texttt{step-47}, \texttt{step-50}, and the new tutorial \texttt{step-74}.
