!!     <DT>input field</DT>
!!     <DD>The data structure describing the field as
!!       registered by the model code.</DD>
!!
!!     <DT>output field</DT>
!!     <DD>The data structure describing the actual
!!       diagnostic output with requested frequency and
!!       other options.</DD>
!!   </DL>
!!
!!   Input fields, output fields, and output files are gathered in arrays called
!!   "input_fields", "output_fields", and "files", respectively. Indices in these
!!   arrays are used as pointers to create associations between various data
!!   structures.
!!
!!   Each input field associated with one or several output fields via array of
!!   indices output_fields; each output field points to the single "parent" input
!!   field with the input_field index, and to the output file with the output_file
!!   index.
