Yep.

I think that's fine, but I have two questions that I'm sure Alexs will answer.  First, will the additional forcing terms (for cylindrical coordinates) still need to be added in the .user file?  Second, how will axisymmetric problems be handled when the axis of symmetry is included in the underlying problem domain?
