* which is rather klugey.
* Would it be better to pass a parameter to low-level writes
* like H5F_block_write and H5F_low_write, instead? Or...???
* Also, when I created this mechanism I wanted to minimize
* the difference in behavior between the old way of doing things
* (i.e., all procs write) and the new way, so the writes are
* eliminated at the very lowest level, here in H5F_mpio_write.
* It may be better to rethink that, and short-circuit the writes
* at a higher level (e.g., at the points in the code where
* H5F_mpio_tas_allsame is called).
*
* Errors:
* IO WRITEERROR MPI_File_write_at failed.
