I've been asked about something like this so many times that it might actually
be worthwhile reviving a version of step-12 without MeshWorker into a tutorial
program of its own.
What I keep hearing from those who ask for it is that MeshWorker is great when
assembling linear systems for "simple" problems, but that it turns out to be
exceedingly difficult to pass information down for more complicated problems
-- e.g., if a problem is nonlinear and needs to evaluate a previous solution,
or a solution from a different mesh, or a different DoFHandler.
I'm not familiar with MeshWorker, so I don't have great insight into whether
these comments are correct. But I keep hearing them, and we have nobody left
on the mailing list who could provide the answers to questions, or the
necessary documentation, to improve the situation.
So, David, if you wanted to submit this program as a tutorial, then I would
see value in it.
