Easy File Reader Creation

Creating a file reader for ParaView is actually pretty hard. There is a lot of tribal knowledge about what the Request* methods do, how to handle information objects, what all the information keys mean, and what to do with them.
It would be a much lower barrier to entry if we had a layer that simplified the implementation of readers, at least for the easy cases. One place to look first is VisIt's reader plugin interface.
