  5:   PetscSection - Mapping from integers in a designated range to contiguous sets of integers.

  7:   In contrast to IS, which maps from integers to single integers, the range of a PetscSection is in the space of
  8:   contiguous sets of integers. These ranges are frequently interpreted as domains of other array-like objects,
  9:   especially other PetscSections, Vecs, and ISs. The domain is set with PetscSectionSetChart() and does not need to
 10:   start at 0. For each point in the domain of a PetscSection, the output set is represented through an offset and a
 11:   count, which are set using PetscSectionSetOffset() and PetscSectionSetDof() respectively. Lookup is typically using
 12:   accessors or routines like VecGetValuesSection().

 21:   PetscSectionSym - Symmetries of the data referenced by a PetscSection.

 23:   Often the order of data index by a PetscSection is meaningful, and describes additional structure, such as points on a
 24:   line, grid, or lattice.  If the data is accessed from a different "orientation", then the image of the data under
 25:   access then undergoes a symmetry transformation.  A PetscSectionSym specifies these symmetries.  The types of
 26:   symmetries that can be specified are of the form R * P, where R is a diagonal matrix of scalars, and P is a permutation.
