Comment (by bnl):

 While I'm out of my comfort zone, I'm still not up for two semantic
 distinctions. What happens if I take variable "A" from file "afile" and
 variable B from file "bfile" and put them both in file "cfile". What then
 do I do with the global attributes from file "afile" and "bfile"? Do I
 leave them as semantically distinct global attributes of A and B? What if
 I do it again and put them in "dfile". What now has happened to all these
 (different) global attributes?

 "file" attributes really only have useful meaning when variables all stay
 in the same containers ... and never get mixed and matched into differing
 output files.
