They were added so one could use dolfin to assemble a "pure" ufc::form. This 
is a nice feature for people who come with their own form compiler, which is 
not fully integrated with all the PyDOLFIN magic we have. 

The statement: 

  "dolfin can assemble any ufc complaint code"

becomes a little more true with that possibility.
