##
## Construct a Functional previously imported from a ufl file.
##
## The compulsory arguments are:
## @itemize @bullet
## @item @var{my_problem} the name of the problem to solve.
## @item the FunctionSpace @var{U} where the problem is defined.
## @end itemize
##
## The optional arguments are the @var{coefficient_1}, @var{coefficient_2} 
## which specify the parameters for the LinearForm with the same name which
## was used in the ufl file.
## They can be either a Constant, a Function or an Expression.
## You can also optionally provide a MeshFunction marking subdomains.
