I won't stop you, but I'm not sure that's worth it.  We don't use
MatCreateAIJ type "convenience" functions in library code, so why should
we use the DMDACreate*d convenience functions?  Presumably doing so
would remove the conditionals (over dimension) that we have now.  Or
perhaps we should do both?
