The C netCDF functions "nc_inq_var" or nc_inq_vardimid (or Fortran
functions NF_INQ_VAR or NF_INQ_VARDIMID) will return a *vector* that
contains all the dimension-IDs for the variable. The first dimension ID
corresponds to the leftmost dimension; the last dimension ID corresponds
to the rightmost dimension (in C, the leftmost dimension is the "outer"
dimension; in Fortran, the leftmost dimension is the "inner" dimension).
