            ----- STRATEGY FOR PERIODIC MESHES -----

       Whenever two vertices are identified by periodicity, any proc 
       that gets one of the vertices actually gets both of them.
       This has to be transitive, that is, if
       a <-> b and  b <-> c,
       then any proc that has vertex a also has vertices b and c!

       Surfaceelements and Segments that are identified by
       periodicity are treated the same way.
       
       We need to duplicate these so we have containers to
       hold the edges/facets. Afaik, a mesh cannot have nodes 
       that are not part of some sort of element.
