Which mathematical equation has to be solved on the 2d domain?

The class <domain> should be general enough to accomplish this.
Essentially, in Femlisp, a <domain> object is more or less the same as a
mesh (both are derived from the class <skeleton>).  This is quite general,
because also blob cells (called <boundary-cell>) are allowed which can then
be triangulated using Triangle.

Good luck!
