Got it.

Oops;  I thought I'd expunged all MOAB-based assumptions from iRel, but they persist, as does Carl's vigilance :).

Drat, I guess my subconscious was trying to slip that one past the group.  Mark B, this was (on a conscious level, 
anyway...) unintentional.

Looks like there's more work to do to add iterator-based functions.  I may not get to this until next week, but I'll get 
to it.

A couple other changes:

- removed setSetArrEntArr, that's covered by setEntArrSetArr with appropriate switch_order argument.  For those that are 
really on top of things (Carl), I think the setSetEntArr has to stay, because of non-symmetry in the Arr part.

- removed comment block on Geometry-Mesh Functions, which were removed from iRel
