/*MC
  MATNEST - MATNEST = "nest" - Matrix type consisting of nested submatrices, each stored separately.

  Level: intermediate

  Notes:
  This matrix type permits scalable use of PCFieldSplit and avoids the large memory costs of extracting submatrices.
  It allows the use of symmetric and block formats for parts of multi-physics simulations.
  It is usually used with DMComposite and DMCreateMatrix()

.seealso: MatCreate(), MatType, MatCreateNest()
