/*! \class H5Object
    \brief Class H5Object is a bridge between H5Location and DataSet, DataType,
     and Group.

    Modification:
	Sept 18, 2012: Added class H5Location in between IdComponent and
		H5Object.  An H5File now inherits from H5Location.  All HDF5
		wrappers in H5Object are moved up to H5Location.  H5Object
		is left mostly empty for future wrappers that are only for
		group, dataset, and named datatype.  Note that the reason for
		adding H5Location instead of simply moving H5File to be under
		H5Object is H5File is not an HDF5 object, and renaming H5Object
		to H5Location will risk breaking user applications.
		-BMR
	Apr 2, 2014: Added wrapper getObjName for H5Iget_name 
	Sep 21, 2016: Rearranging classes (HDFFV-9920) moved H5A wrappers back
		into H5Object.  This way, C functions that takes attribute id
		can be in H5Location and those that cannot take attribute id
		can be in H5Object.

    Inheritance: H5Location -> IdComponent
