How to set FFC options from python?

The parameters included in form_compiler was meant to be general form
compiler parameters, which all form compiler could implement. Special
parameters for a particular form compiler need to be passed either
directly to the assembler through the form_compiler kwargs or you could
also try add it to parameters.

  parameters.form_compiler.add("simplify_expressions", False)

It is untested and I am not sure, however, the logic in the
jitcompiler.py allows this. If you are not able to pass these parameters
consider reporting it as an issue.

Nope, we never standardized the form compiler arguments.
