Comment (by rhaas):

 This variant has these downsides (that I can think of right away):

 * 3rd party tools that parse the parfiles need to know how to handle this
 * it puts output that is produced only on rank 0 (ie global output) into
 one of the nested directories
 * it may not work at all depending on how parameters are checkpointed
 * it is an abuse of the parfile parser for things it was not designed to
 handle
