The latter. Browsing is nice, but being able to read the data simply,
over and over again, in a production-like setting is the goal.
Typically, I know what the variables names are. Once the data has been
read into a structure/object, getting the particular variable is trivial
(e.g. via a tag name match, or get_property method).

Mike has netCDF4 readers?
Crikey, I can't keep up!
