                                      * appropriately, then the integration of

                                      * approximation. The use of different

                                      * side has too few quadrature points --

                                      * formula is obviously insufficient to

                                      * function onto quadrature points is
                                      * essentially what the

                                      * functions do; to make things a little
                                      * simpler, the
                                      * <tt>FETools::compute_interpolation_to_quadrature_points_matrix</tt>
                                      * provides the matrix form of this.
				      *
				      * Note that this function works
				      * on a single cell, rather than
				      * an entire triangulation. In
				      * effect, it therefore doesn't
				      * matter if you use a continuous
				      * or discontinuous version of
				      * the finite element.
				      *
				      * It is worth noting that there
				      * are a few confusing cases of
				      * this function. The first one
				      * is that it really only makes
				      * sense to project onto a finite
				      * element that has at most as
				      * many degrees of freedom per
				      * cell as there are quadrature
				      * points; the projection of N
				      * quadrature point data into a
				      * space with M>N unknowns is
				      * well-defined, but often yields
				      * funny and non-intuitive
				      * results. Secondly, one would
				      * think that if the quadrature
				      * point data is defined in the
				      * support points of the finite
				      * element, i.e. the quadrature
				      * points of
				      * <tt>ths_quadrature</tt> equal
				      * <tt>fe.get_unit_support_points()</tt>,
				      * then the projection should be
				      * the identity, i.e. each degree
				      * of freedom of the finite
				      * element equals the value of
				      * the given data in the support
				      * point of the corresponding
				      * shape function. However, this
				      * is not generally the case:
				      * while the matrix <tt>Q</tt> in
				      * that case is the identity
				      * matrix, the mass matrix
				      * <tt>M</tt> is not equal to the
				      * identity matrix, except for
				      * the special case that the
				      * quadrature formula
				      * <tt>lhs_quadrature</tt> also
				      * has its quadrature points in
				      * the support points of the
				      * finite element.
