Depends how you look at it. If you do:

element = VectorElement("Lagrange", "interval", 2)

FFC will try to generate a vector element with just cell_dimension = 1 component
i.e. effectively a FiniteElement (this will fail because MixedElement expects a
list).

If you do e.g.,

element = VectorElement("Lagrange", "interval", 2, 3)

things work fine.

We could modify VectorElement to return the FiniteElement for the special case
of shape = "interval" and no specified number of components, but on the other
hand I think it is more logical if it doesn't work.
