// MOAB used to use a NULL handle list and a zero handle count
// to indicate that tag functions are to operate on the global/mesh
// value of the tag.  For the 3.0 release MOAB also accepted a handle
// with a value of 0 to indicate the same.  Now we want to drop the
// old NULL list method because a) it is one less special case that
// must be handled in the tag get/set paths and b) it aviods unexpected
// segfaults when applications requested tag data with an empty list
// of handles.

// a warning.
