[Dune] question about JacobianInverseTransposed

[Martin Nolte]

PS: Maybe the AffineGeometry is a better place to learn the implementation of a 
DUNE geometry, because it is slimmer. The MultiLinearGeometry is a quite complex 
construct with a few tweaks to gain performance. Some of them might not even be 
necessary with recent compilers. For example, some of the integral_constant 
magic could be removed if we rely on constant propagation. However, this would 
rely on people recognizing this opportunity and not "improving" it without thought.

Best,

Martin
