Document inefficiency of ifblock and alien types

Description

It is recommended that IFBLOCK and alien data types (TYPE) should only really be used when accessing external data files.  It is much more efficient to use the inbuilt types for general processing.

In particular some of the new optimizations to project and filter files remotely will not be supported on ifblocks and alien datatypes.
