Hi,

I'm trying to update my plasticity solver to use the latest version of DOLFIN
and I ran into a problem with the new design of Function/Expression etc.
I get the following error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  evaluate_basis() is not supported for QuadratureElement

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

It's pretty obvious what the error is, but before you say that we should just
implement evaluate_basis() for QuadratureElement (which is alway 1, if it's
evaluate exactly at the quadrature point, otherwise it's undefined) I would
like to know why it is necessary to call evaluate on a function that contains a
computed result. It should be possible to just pass this function to the Form
which will handle the interpolation when integrating the form.
