[Dune] question about JacobianInverseTransposed

[Martin Nolte]

Hi Aleksejs,

the setup method you cite is not an initializer for a MultiLinearGeometry but 
instead for its contained class JacobianInverseTransposed.

If you look more closely, this class is derived from FieldMatrix and, hence, the 
static_cast does nothing but cast a a reference to JacobianInverseTransposed 
(namely *this) into the corresponding base class FieldMatrix & (which is 
abbreviated by the typedef Base).

Best,

Martin
