+    <P>The HDF5 library creates global heap collections as needed, so there may
+        be multiple collections throughout the file. The set of all of them is
+        abstractly called the "global heap", although they don't actually link
+        to each other, and there is no global place in the file where you can
+        discover all of the collections.  The collections are found simply by
+        finding a reference to one through another object in the file (eg.
+        variable-length datatype elements, etc).
