  //========================================================================
  /// A geometric object is an object that provides a parametrised
  /// description of its shape via the function GeomObject::position(...).
  ///
  /// The minimum functionality is: The geometric object has
  /// a number of Lagrangian (intrinsic) coordinates that parametrise
  /// the (Eulerian) position vector, whose dimension might
  /// differ from the number of Lagrangian (intrinsic) coordinates (e.g.
  /// for shell-like objects).
  ///
  /// We might also need the derivatives of the position
  /// Vector w.r.t. to the Lagrangian (intrinsic) coordinates and interfaces
  /// for this functionality are provided.
  /// [Note: For some geometric objects it might be too tedious to work out
  /// the derivatives and they might not be needed anyway. In other
  /// cases we might always need the position vector and all
  /// derivatives at the same time. We provide suitable interfaces
  /// for these cases in virtual but broken (rather than pure virtual) form
  /// so the user can (but doesn't have to) provide the required versions
  /// by overloading.]
  ///
  /// The shape of a geometric object is usually determined by a number
  /// of parameters whose value might have to be determined as part
  /// of the overall solution (e.g. for geometric objects that represent
  /// elastic walls). The geometric object
  /// therefore has a vector of (pointers to) geometric Data,
  /// which can be free/pinned and have a time history, etc. This makes
  /// it possible to `upgrade' GeomObjects to GeneralisedElements -- in this
  /// case the geometric Data plays the role of internal Data in the
  /// GeneralisedElement.  Conversely, FiniteElements, in which a geometry
  /// (spatial coordinate) has been defined, inherit from GeomObjects,
  /// which is particularly useful in FSI computations:
  /// Meshing of moving domains is typically performed by representing the
  /// domain as an object of type Domain and, by default, Domain boundaries are
  /// represented by GeomObjects. In FSI computations, the boundary
  /// of the fluid domain is represented by a number of solid mechanics
  /// elements. These elements are, in fact,  GeomObjects via inheritance so
  /// that the we can use the standard interfaces of the GeomObject class for
  /// mesh generation. An example is the class \c FSIHermiteBeamElement which is
  /// derived from the class \c HermiteBeamElement (a `normal' beam element) and
  /// the \c GeomObject class.
  ///
  /// The shape of a geometric object can have an explicit time-dependence, for
  /// instance in cases where a domain boundary is performing
  /// prescribed motions. We provide access to the `global'
  /// time by giving the object a pointer to a timestepping scheme.
  /// [Note that, within the overall FE code, time is only ever evaluated at
  /// discrete instants (which are accessible via the timestepper),
  /// never in continuous form]. The timestepper is also needed to evaluate
  /// time-derivatives if the geometric Data carries a time history.
