   Curved  high order Pk hexaedra (k >= 1) in 3d geometries are supported.
   These hexaedra have  additional  edge-nodes,  face-nodes  and  internal
   volume-nodes.

THESE NODES ARE NUMBERED AS

    first  vertex,  then edge-node, following the edge numbering order and
   orientation, then face-nodes following the  face  numbering  order  and
   orientation,  and  finally  the  face  internal  nodes,  following  the
   hexaedron lattice.   See  below  for  edges  and  faces  numbering  and
   orioentation.

NUMBERING

   The  orientation  is  such  that triedra (01, 03, 04) is direct and all
   faces, see from exterior, are in the direct sens.   References:  P.  L.
   Georges, "Generation automatique de maillages", page 24-, coll RMA, 16,
   Masson, 1994.  Notice that  the  edge-nodes  and  face-nodes  numbering
   slighly  differ  from  those used in the gmsh mesh generator when using
   high-order elements.  This difference is handled by  the  msh2geo  mesh
   file converter (see msh2geo(1)).

IMPLEMENTATION

   const size_t dimension = 3;
   const Float  measure = 8;
   const size_t n_vertex = 8;
   const point vertex [n_vertex] = {
           point(-1,-1,-1 ),
           point( 1,-1,-1 ),
           point( 1, 1,-1 ),
           point(-1, 1,-1 ),
           point(-1,-1, 1 ),
           point( 1,-1, 1 ),
           point( 1, 1, 1 ),
           point(-1, 1, 1 ) };
   const size_t  n_face = 6;
   const size_t face [n_face][4] = {
           {0, 3, 2, 1 },
           {0, 4, 7, 3 },
           {0, 1, 5, 4 },
           {4, 5, 6, 7 },
           {1, 2, 6, 5 },
           {2, 3, 7, 6 } };
   const size_t  n_edge = 12;
   const size_t edge [n_edge][2] = {
           {0, 1 },
           {1, 2 },
           {2, 3 },
           {3, 0 },
           {0, 4 },
           {1, 5 },
           {2, 6 },
           {3, 7 },
           {4, 5 },
           {5, 6 },
           {6, 7 },
           {7, 4 } };
