    # the old fields version of make.surface.grid was complicated
    # and we believe rarely used.
    # this current function
    # is essentially a single line replacement
    #
    # but adds an attribute for the grid matrix to carry
    # and carries along the names of the grid.list variables.
    # along the information as to how it was created.
    # see as.surface
    # NOTE: for compatibility this works for a 1D grid
