/**
 * @class   vtkMultiBlockDataSet
 * @brief   Composite dataset that organizes datasets into
 * blocks.
 *
 * vtkMultiBlockDataSet is a vtkCompositeDataSet that stores
 * a hierarchy of datasets. The dataset collection consists of
 * multiple blocks. Each  block can itself be a vtkMultiBlockDataSet, thus
 * providing for a full tree structure.
 * Sub-blocks are usually used to distribute blocks across processors.
 * For example, a 1 block dataset can be distributed as following:
 * @verbatim
 * proc 0:
 * Block 0:
 *   * ds 0
 *   * (null)
 *
 * proc 1:
 * Block 0:
 *   * (null)
 *   * ds 1
 * @endverbatim
