 NAME
    H5S_hyper_select_valid
 PURPOSE
    Check whether the selection fits within the extent, with the current
    offset defined.
 USAGE
    hbool_t H5S_hyper_select_valid(space);
        H5S_t *space;             IN: Dataspace pointer to query
 RETURNS
    TRUE if the selection fits within the extent, FALSE if it does not and
        FAIL on an error.
 DESCRIPTION
    Determines if the current selection at the current offet fits within the
    extent for the dataspace.
