PCASM is "Additive" rather than multiplicative so there is no order.
 PCFieldSplit includes multiplicative and symmetric-multiplicative variants,
but each subdomain ("split" in this context) is global which exposes less
concurrency (subdomains can be empty on some processes so this only affects
performance, not which Schwarz-like algorithms are implementable).
