    volume_operator(grid, inner_stencil, closure_stencils, parity, direction)

Creates a volume operator on a `Dim`-dimensional grid acting along the
specified coordinate `direction`. The action of the operator is determined by
the stencils `inner_stencil` and `closure_stencils`. When `Dim=1`, the
corresponding `VolumeOperator` tensor mapping is returned. When `Dim>1`, the
returned operator is the appropriate outer product of a one-dimensional
operators and `IdentityMapping`s, e.g for `Dim=3` the volume operator in the
y-direction is `I⊗op⊗I`.
