I was thinking that we only need to replace Coefficients, e.g. if a
Coefficient is defined using an 'incomplete element', FFC can create an
element, a Coefficient and the perform the replacement. Looks like UFL
can do this already.

The problem from the DOLFIN side is that the new UFL Coefficient will be
different from the DOLFIN/UFL Coefficient, and would be a
ufl.Coefficient and not a dolfin.Coefficient.
