I might come around to adding write support to netCDF / CDF
"datasources", but I need some clarifications first. In the committed
code something suprises me: it looks as if one could only write to the
file currently being read from. This is of course nice to permanently
store new fields created via plugins / equations for instance, but there
are other use cases where this will break, and it may also be dangerous
because some data may be overwritten in the process.
I had imagined that we would rather create datasinks, which could either
work on an existing data file (even one being read from if that's safe
?) with appropriate warnings in case the fields already exist or any
other write error happens, or create a new one.
I would actually be interested to have a rough overview of the plans in
this area...
