I am so interested in this.  I am having hard time to make the
preallocation right for users because they have all kinds of crazy physics
that coupling different PDEs together based on their own rules.  So if we
could make the preallocate work automatically, it would be great.

If we have this code in, the preallocation is not necessary for users any
more?  Still worthwhile to  have the right preallocation if possible?

Jed, please let me know, if you have  any progress on this.


Fande,
