Is adding qrule->need_reinit() the only change that you are making to 
QBase?  I am probably missing something, but it seems like allowing the 
quadrature rule to vary from element to element would also require 
something like changing the arguments for qrule->init() to include the 
element on which the quadrature rule is being initialized.

(Incidentally, this is functionality that I would definitely use!)
