Some Details

The LinearExtrap boundary condition registered by this thorn only works in three dimensions. The value on a boundary face is determined by fitting a straight line through the two points 'inside' of the boundary point. For the edges and corners, two points along the diagonal are used to determine the line. In this way the thorn also provides an example of how to handle edges and corners, though only in a dimension specific way.
