    ! In "nf90_inquire_variable", "dimids" is an assumed-size array.
    ! This is not optimal.
    ! We are in the classical case of an array the size of which is
    ! unknown in the calling procedure, before the call.
    ! Here we use a better solution: an allocatable argument array.
    ! This procedure allocates and defines "dimids" if it is present.
