Comment (by eschnett):

 There are several reasons why Carpet's HDF5 output is not independent of
 the number of processes. I agree completely that this is inconvenient in
 many cases; however, this was a conscious decision we made drawing from
 experience with had with PUGH.

 Couldn't we add the complex logic into the comparison? We currently just
 run diff; instead, we could

 {{{
 grep -v '^ *(#.*)?$' | sort | uniq
 }}}

 and then diff. Carpet's ASCII format is intentionally defined such that
 the order in which the lines are presented does not matter, since each
 output line is self-sufficient. The line breaks and comments are also
 purely for gnuplot's sake and are not necessary for a correct
 interpretation.
