I'm running into some problems with the new Function design when trying

Function v;
Function u, p;

FirstBilinearForm a_1(V1, V1);
FirstLinearForm L_1(V1);
LinearPDE pde_first(a_1, L_1);
// Second form which depends on u
SecondBilinearForm a_2(V2, V2);
SecondLinearForm L_2(V2, u);
LinearPDE pde_second(a_2, L_2);
Function U;
for(uint i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
{
pde_first.solve(U);
// This step breaks down because FunctionSpaces don't match
u = U[0];
p = U[1];
pde_second.solve(v);
}
The problem is in assigning Functions since we now check the FunctionSpace.
Which check is it that fails?
To get around this, I tried
FunctionSpace V(mesh);
Function U(V);
Function u = U[0];
Function p = U[1];
which throws an exception because U does not have a vector.
What if we remove the check in operator[] and then in the constructor
that gets a SubFunction we rely on v.v.vector() which (after Martin's
fix from yesterday) will always return a vector with the dofs
(possibly interpolated if there were no dofs before).
