[petsc-dev] New Year's renaming: DMComplex

[Jed Brown]

Can DMComplex also be used with real numbers?   ;-)

Yes, still the most commonly-asked question, and not likely to be fixed by
popularity. The new year sounds like a good excuse to fix this confusion.
Possible suggestions to fight the confusion:

* DMPlex - short and pronounceable

* DMCC - "Cell Complex"

* DMCW - from "CW Complex"


Matt, can we choose something and do the batch rename soon (before
petsc-3.4)? I'll make you an auto-generated deprecated compatibility header
if you want that.

I'm sick of needlessly confusing users.
