[MOAB-dev] Getting ent set data when tag_size > 1

[Tim Tautges]

Yeah.  Believe it or not, that implementation predates the current sequence implementation in MOAB.

As a more general point, on this same subject, there needs to be a more accessible way of iterating over contiguous 
blocks of handles, in MOAB's interface at least, and possibly in iMesh (or an extension).  This may have more to do with 
documentation than anything else.
