It appears that I should convert DMDALocalToLocalBegin()/End() to DMLocalToLocalBegin/End_DA().  I lean towards leaving DMDALocalToLocalCreate() (which is called "lazily" by DMDALocalToLocalBegin()) as-is, however.  Does this sound OK?

  Likely its name should be changed to DMLocalToLocalCreate_DA() so that it is clear that it is a utility routine that is not generally to be called directly by users.
