[vtk-developers] problem with Python wrapping of AddArray/RemoveArray

[Berk Geveci]

You shouldn't use unnamed arrays with the field data anyway.
Relying on indices is very dangerous since, in theory, the
arrays can be re-ordered as a side effect of certain calls.
The only safe use of indices is to iterate over the arrays
when you want to perform some operation on all of them
(and not make any other field data calls inside the loop).
