Mapping from integers in a designated range to contiguous sets of integers.

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