/**
1. We build the projection to be sent to the server aka
the fetch constraint.  We want the server do do as much work
as possible, so we send it a url with a fetch constraint
that is the merge of the url constraint with the vara
constraint.

The url constraint, if any, is the one that was provided
in the url specified in nc_open().

The vara constraint is the one formed from the arguments
(start, count, stride) provided to the call to nc_get_vara().

There are some exceptions to the formation of the fetch constraint.
In all cases, the fetch constraint will use any URL selections,
but will use different fetch projections.
a. URL is unconstrainable (e.g. file://...):
	   fetchprojection = null => fetch whole dataset
b. The target variable (as specified in nc_get_vara())
   is already in the cache and is whole variable, but note
   that it might be part of the prefetch mixed in with other prefetched
   variables.
	   fetchprojection = N.A. since variable is in the cache
c. Vara is requesting part of a variable but NCF_WHOLEVAR flag is set.
	   fetchprojection = unsliced vara variable => fetch whole variable
d. Vara is requesting part of a variable and NCF_WHOLEVAR flag is not set.
	   fetchprojection = sliced vara variable => fetch part variable

2. At this point, all or part of the target variable is available in the cache.

3. We build a projection to walk (guide) the use of the oc
   data procedures to extract the required data from the cache.
   For cases a,b,c:
       walkprojection = merge(urlprojection,varaprojection)
   For case d:
       walkprojection =  varaprojection without slicing.
       This means we need only extract the complete contents of the cache.
       Notice that this will not necessarily be a direct memory to
       memory copy because the dap encoding still needs to be
       interpreted. For this case, we derive a walk projection
       from the vara projection that will properly access the cached data.
       This walk projection shifts the merged projection so all slices
       start at 0 and have a stride of 1.
