cannot add Piecewise functions if intervals are not the same about approxfun.jl HOT 2 CLOSED

Ah good point, since the intervals are different.  I think I just need to override maxspace to say we can convert to piecewise with all pieces…

PiecewiseSpace is far from well-developed

I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how I should implement this but I don't know enough about ApproxFun. I put what I started in a gist https://gist.github.com/goretkin/5d4fb776b9ef09f4bd1f https://gist.github.com/goretkin/5d4fb776b9ef09f4bd1f
I think the point here is to add ac + as without recomputing the coefficients, though one stopgap could be to override the addition method on Fun{PiecewiseSpace} directly and compute Fun( (x)-> ac[x] + as[x], unique(merge_sorted(breaks(ac.space), breaks(as.space))))

OK, this should work now for PiecewiseSpace{ChebyshevSpace}. I override union to determine a space that contains two other spaces.
