Convenience. The code to bring the data into an IDL context already
exists, and I wanted to use the results as data for IDL plotting
commands. Therefore, to bring C into this, I would have had to interface
between C and IDL twice, which is moderately complicated, no matter how
you do it.

I was pretty sure that there was an IDL feature whose name I couldn't
quite remember that would allow me to deal with this with relative
efficiency and simplicity in pure IDL. I was right - VALUE_LOCATE is
what I was looking for.
