Comment (by davidhassell):
Hi Karl,
I like this approach, but I think we can retain your clarity whilst
retaining Jonathan's alternative:
If the boundary variable is associated with a parametric coordinate
variable then it assumed that the formula definition of the parametric
coordinate variable also applies to the bounds. The term values are the
same except when the named variable depends on the vertical coordinate, in
which case the named variable is substituted with its boundary variable,
if it exists. Note that a `formula_terms` attribute may also be provided
on a boundary variable provided it adheres to these restrictions.
