 As discussed in our group meeting of 2003-12-17 (AJA, CNH, JMC, AM,
 PH, EH3), the NetCDF interface should resemble the following FORTRAN

 The above interface is powerful yet easy to use (easier than the
 entire NetCDF interface) since it helps the user keep track of the
 associations between files, "grids", variables, and dimensions.
