I liked Garth solution better. 

 1) A copy constructor that, just copies the Function if it has
    a FunctionSpace.
 2) The assignment operator works only for discrete Functions. 

We could add an interpolate() (or something) function that

  v.interpolate(*_vector, *_function_space);

Then the user can explicitly create a discrete function of its user-defined 
Function. Now the user gets this as an implicitly result of a function copy, 
which make litle sense to me. 

But that's just me :)
