Yes, the solution is to use append_element().
The += operator looks first if an element is present and updates this
element or inserts a new one. Only the append_element() method uses the
special property of the coordinate matrix. BTW. the fastest method to
assemble a stiffness matrix is to precompute the structure, fill a
compressed matrix row by row with zeros and then do the usual assembly.
The IMO second best solution is to use a generalized_vector_of_vector
with compressed rows and copy the result into your favorite matrix
format. As long as you do not reach the memory limit of your system,
the additional copy is a lot cheaper than the final sort and compress
of a coordinate matrix or the slow insert of a compressed matrix.
