Another change in preparation for adding Hermite interpolation:
Change the documented name of the Lagrange interpolation operator from "generalized polynomial interpolation" to "Lagrange polynomial interpolation" (& document that the old name is still accepted for backwards compatability). git-svn-id: http://svn.cactuscode.org/arrangements/CactusBase/LocalInterp/trunk@82 df1f8a13-aa1d-4dd4-9681-27ded5b42416
