deprecate or enhance AreaPostprocessor

[WilkAndy]

I want to calculate the integral of a function over a sideset. Therefore i want to either deprecate AreaPostprocessor and create a new FunctionIntegral, or to enhance AreaPostprocessor so that it takes an optional Function argument:

params.addParam("function", 1.0, "doco")

FunctionIntegral::computeQpIntegral()
{
return _func.value(_t, _q_point[_qp]);
}

Comments?

Please don't modify AreaPostprocessor - it does exactly what it's supposed to do and doesn't need to do anything different.

If you would like to create FunctionIntegral that inherits from SideIntegralPostprocessor... go for it

Actually - I suppose that would be FunctionSideIntegral
