That's not what I meant. I meant to transform the algebraic system so that
those extra variables were eliminated. The point is that we tend to put a
lot of effort into designing effective preconditioners for a standard
formulation (e.g. conservative variables), and that is partly lost of we
have this other system in which the evaluations of constitutive relations
are added explicitly.
