But make sure to not name that space 'M' if you try this with a UFL
file or you will get a strange error (since 'M' is reserved in form
files).

Anyway, I'm wondering about the dofmap for the "R" element. It sets
_global_dimension to m.num_entities[2] which is the global number of
cells, but then it maps all dofs to 0. Is that right? Shouldn't the
global dimension be 1?
