[petsc-dev] What to do with DMDALocalToLocal routines when adding DMLocalToLocalBegin()/End()?

[Richard Tran Mills]

Barry,

Yes, you are right.  I had erroneously thought that it was a "user" 
routine with a manual page; I was thrown off by the nice comment at the 
beginning. =)

It appears that I should convert DMDALocalToLocalBegin()/End() to DMLocalToLocalBegin/End_DA().  I lean towards leaving DMDALocalToLocalCreate() (which is called "lazily" by DMDALocalToLocalBegin()) as-is, however.  Does this sound OK?
