Comment (by rhaas):

 Thank you. I only looked at the committed code and the test files so far.
 It looks very nice. Thank you. I will try it out during the day and
 propose changes. One thing that I noticed was that the testsuite uses
 Carpet timing data, which is likely not a good idea since it should change
 each time the code is run, shouldn't it? One other thing might be that it
 might be nice to extent IOUtil to support a compact option in the per-
 variable option string so that one can turn on compact format only for
 some variables and leave eg. 1d ASCII output in the old format for the
 benefit of old postprocessing scripts that use the old format. I have no
 comments on the actual data so far.
