[dune-functions] [Dune-functions-commit] [Commit] dune-functions - e7abafb: Add protocol for Aachen meeting

[Carsten Gräser]

Hi Steffen,
didn't we decide that the global multi
indices should always be consecutive?
If not, we may also add a method to
check if a prefix does appear in any
index.

Best,
Carsten
