sieve-dev Data shared between points in a Sieve DAG

The closure operation makes sense, but what I want is something a little
different.

I have a field that is defined as follows:
field(edge,cell) = blah
ie it really lives on the union of cells and edges (or vertex/edges,
cells/vertexs, etc.)

Is this something that can be defined using DMComplex and Sections?
