In many cases, we use same nodes as support points for FE space and

FEValues actually recognise and make this optimization ? If not, is it
possible to get this behaviour ?

No.


In my codes, I write my own code to get function values in this case without
doing a sum over all basis functions.

Yes, this is special knowledge that is hard to figure out automatically, but easy to do if you know that it's true. In that case, you wouldn't want to use FEValues to evaluate your shape functions -- you *know* up front that they're either zero or one!


But it would be great if FEValues.get_function_values could automatically do 
this.

But why would you want to use FEValues in that case?
