Because +of this misunderstanding, it returned `false` for the FE_Nothing +element. This is now fixed: FE_Nothing::has_support_points() now +returns `true`, because the empty array returned by +FE_Nothing::get_unit_support_points() correctly describes the support +points the element has (namely: it does not have any, as there are no +degrees of freedom). +
