   /* There's an external ncid (ext_ncid) and an internal ncid
    * (int_ncid). The ext_ncid is the ncid returned to the user. If
    * the user has opened or created a netcdf-4 file, then the
    * ext_ncid is the same as the int_ncid. If he has opened or
    * created a netcdf-3 file ext_ncid (which the user sees) is
    * different from the int_ncid, which is the ncid returned by the
    * netcdf-3 layer, which insists on inventing its own ncids,
    * regardless of what is already in use due to previously opened
    * netcdf-4 files. The ext_ncid contains the ncid for the root
    * group (i.e. group zero). */
