[petsc-users] PCSHELL does not support getting factor matrix

Now that we have the PCMatApply interface, you could  switch to use that inside SLEPc. I guess you are using MatSolve, right?
If not, the alternative is to have a PCFactorGetMatrix with creates on the fly an object that behaves like it. The problem is that we do not have a matching restore, and the new object created will be leaked.
What do you think?
