[petsc-users] A flag for FormFunction.

[Barry Smith]

   There really isn't a mechanism to know by whom a function is called.

    Do you want this so you know when the function is being called  
directly vs when it is being called in computing a Jacobian derivative  
with finite differencing? Do you want the function to do something  
different in the two cases?
