/* Fields in this struct are of several types:
 * - The DXPL & LAPL ID are either library default ones (from the API context
 *      initialization) or passed in from the application via an API call
 *      parameter.  The corresponding H5P_genplist_t* is just the underlying
 *      property list struct for the ID, to optimize retrieving properties
 *      from the list multiple times.
 *
 * - Internal fields, used and set only within the library, for managing the
 *      operation under way.  These do not correspond to properties in the
 *      DXPL or LAPL and can have any name.
 *
 * - Cached fields, which are not returned to the application, for managing
 *      the operation under way.  These correspond to properties in the DXPL
 *      or LAPL, and are retrieved either from the (global) cache for a
 *      default property list, or from the corresponding property in the
 *      application's (non-default) property list.  Getting / setting these
 *      properties within the library does _not_ affect the application's
 *      property list.  Note that the naming of these fields, <foo> and
 *      <foo>_valid, is important for the H5CX_RETRIEVE_PROP_VALID ahd
 *      H5CX_RETRIEVE_PROP_VALID_SET macros to work properly.
 *
 * - "Return-only"" properties that are returned to the application, mainly
 *      for sending out "introspection" information ("Why did collective I/O
 *      get broken for this operation?", "Which filters are set on the chunk I
 *      just directly read in?", etc) Setting these fields will cause the
 *      corresponding property in the property list to be set when the API
 *      context is popped, when returning from the API routine.  Note that the
 *      naming of these fields, <foo> and <foo>_set, is important for the
 *      H5CX_TEST_SET_PROP and H5CX_SET_PROP macros to work properly.
