Comment	At the december 2008 meeting in Heidelberg it was decided that this change should be implemented after the 1.2 release.

Description

The method Geometry::checkInside checks whether a local point lies within the reference element or not.

This check is independent of the geometry and should be moved on the reference element.

I know that this means obtaining the reference element one more time. If this is really a problem, then the geometry should return the reference element rather than provide this method...
