It would be useful if we could somehow associate names with mixed 
functions, e.g.

  P2 = VectorElement("Lagrange", "triangle", 2)
  P1 = FiniteElement("Lagrange", "triangle", 1)
  TH = P2 + P1
  (u, p, "U") = Functions(TH)

so that in the DOLFIN-specific C++ wrapper code we can use

  a.U = u;

to attach mixed functions rather than

  a.w0 = u;
  a.w1 = v;
  etc.

which is error prone. Andy suggestions on a nice way to do this in the 
FFC input? Will this be part of UFL?
