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
