 * @brief This class implements the serial variational transfer between finite
 * element spaces. Variational transfer has been shown to have better
 * approximation properties than standard interpolation. This facilities can be
 * used for supporting applications which require the handling of non matching
 * meshes. For instance: General multi-physics problems, fluid structure
 * interaction, or even visualization of average quantities within subvolumes
 * This algorithm allows to perform quadrature in the intersection of elements
 * of two separate and unrelated meshes. It generates quadrature rules in
 * the intersection which allows us to integrate-with to machine precision using
 * the mfem::MortarIntegrator interface. See https://doi.org/10.1137/15M1008361
 * for and in-depth explanation. At this time curved elements are not supported.
