Decide whether to modify the Mesh printout to group optional connectivities by their source element
Should we modify the new Mesh printout, removing the "optional connectivities" section, and instead place them in their relevent source element section, and add an extra section for boundaries. e.g. something like (taking @pp-mo's example from #4499)
topology_dimension: 2
node
node_dimension: 'nMesh2d_half_levels_node'
node coordinates
<AuxCoord: longitude / (degrees) <lazy> shape(55298,)>
<AuxCoord: latitude / (degrees) <lazy> shape(55298,)>
edge
edge_dimension: 'nMesh2d_half_levels_edge'
edge_node_connectivity: <Connectivity: Maps every edge/link to two nodes that it connects. / (unknown) <lazy> shape(110592, 2)>
edge coordinates
<AuxCoord: longitude / (degrees) <lazy> shape(110592,)>
<AuxCoord: latitude / (degrees) <lazy> shape(110592,)>
optional connectivities:
edge_face_connectivity: <Connectivity: neighbor faces for edges / (unknown) <lazy> shape(110592, 2)>
face
face_dimension: 'nMesh2d_half_levels_face'
face_node_connectivity: <Connectivity: Maps every face to its corner nodes. / (unknown) <lazy> shape(55296, 4)>
face coordinates
<AuxCoord: longitude / (degrees) <lazy> shape(55296,)>
<AuxCoord: latitude / (degrees) <lazy> shape(55296,)>
optional connectivities:
face_face_connectivity: <Connectivity: Indicates which other faces neighbor each face / (no_unit) <lazy> shape(55296, 4)>
face_edge_connectivity: <Connectivity: Maps every face to its edges. / (unknown) <lazy> shape(55296, 4)>
boundary
boundary_dimension: 'nMesh2d_half_levels_boundary'
boundary_node_connectivity: <Connectivity: unknown / (unknown) <lazy> shape(1417, 2)>
long_name: 'Topology data of 2D unstructured mesh'
var_name: 'Mesh2d_half_levels'
