Would it work if the syntax were

   ("P-", cell, r, k=0)
   ("P", cell, r, k=0)
   ("Q-", cell, r, k=0)
   ("S", cell, r, k=0)

i.e., if the fourth argument is left out it defaults to 0.
That way ("P", cell, r) would continue to have the same meaning.

Of course I am happy to have FEEC built into the syntax
if you and others think that is appropriate.

Actually my choice would be

  ("P-", cell, r, k)
  ("P", cell, r, k)
  ("Q-", cell, r, k)
  ("S", cell, r, k)

The Lambda is always present so conveys no information.

That looks good, but `P` is already used as a name for the P
elements in the latest draft so this does not seem to work out.

Are there other options? Something like

   FEEC("P", cell, r, k)

?

Not that I'm aware of, but we could easily add a function `simplex`
which would allow this:

FiniteElement("P Lambda", simplex(n), r, k)

Seems like a good idea to me.

Let me recall that there is one way to specify

dimension free code:

  (name, cell, r, k)

where name is 'P- Lambda' or 'P Lambda' for cell

and name is 'Q- Lambda' or 'S Lambda' for
cell = 'interval', 'quadrilateral', or
'hexahedron'.  From one point of view
(the one conveyed by the periodic table), everything
else is a convenience alias.

Are you happy with these names? Is `P Lambda` the best choice?
It seems a bit odd with a space in the name but I can't think of

BTW, is there a dimension-independent way
to refer to a simplex or cube, (e.g., (simplex, 2)
instead of triangle) in UFL?  If you want code
that changes dimension by just changing the one
line "n = 2", I guess you need this.

FiniteElement("P Lambda", simplex(n), r, k)
