+// - this overload uses H5Oget_info_by_idx instead of H5Oget_info_by_name
+// like the previous childObjType()
+// - index is the required argument so, first
+// - objname is last because it's more likely the location is already
+// fully specified
+// - Leave property list out for now because C API is not using it, it
+// can be added later when needed.
