GMV has facilities for taking D scalar variables and displaying them
as components of an R^D vector; IIRC Tecplot does as well and I'd be
surprised if Paraview etc. didn't.

If there's some specific output format that requires those vector
components to be associated a priori, there's probably nothing to be
done about it except to add an API for doing so and modify the I/O
class to handle it.
