I guess you can't as it is not possible to create an ufc::cell in the Python 
interface (as far as I know...). I am also not sure we want to expose more of 
the UFC interface to PyDOLFIN, and particular not ufc::cell, as it comes with 
some nasty double ** attributes in its public interface.

However, in DofMap many functions come in one DOLFIN and one UFC version, but 
local_dimension is not one of them. Is there a reason for this Anders? It 
should be straight forward to just add it.
