Sounds good. So entities of every codim get the isLeaf method.
One other possibility is to use the hierarchic iterator and then the
method entity to achieve the LeafIterator functionality. Maybe we
schould test both implementations, as they are possible with the interface.

Another question is, which grids will use the default LeafIterator,
AlbertaGrid not, ALU3dGrid not, SGrid not, YaspGrid not (for those its a
simple typedef LevelIterator = LeafItertor) and what about UGGrid?

I thought that you do in parallel the same as in serial. For example
using a FV scheme on the leaf entities. Then you have to use the
LeafIterator with Interior_Partition. Now you have 2 possibilties,
one is to make sure that in serial the LeafIterator with
Interior_Partition does the "All_Partition" or the other is to write the
code twice, one for parallel and one for serial applications (which I
won't)
