 *
 *          In the 1D case, we will be selecting five points and a 1D

 *          5-by-1 array. To select the 1st, 14th, 17th, 23rd and 8th elements
 *          of the dataset, the selection array would be as follows
 *          (remembering that point coordinates are zero-based):

 *          \n      0 13 16 22 7
 *
 *          In the 4D case, we will be selecting three points and a 4D
 *          dataspace has rank 4, so the selection will be described in a
 *          3-by-4 array. To select the points (1,1,1,1), (14,6,12,18), and
 *          (8,22,30,22), the point selection array would be as follows:
 *          \n      0  0  0  0

 *          The \p start array specifies the offset of the starting element

 *
 *          The \p stride array chooses array locations from the dataspace with
 *          each value in the \p stride array determining how many elements to
 *          move in each dimension. Setting a value in the \p stride array to
 *          \p 1 moves to each element in that dimension of the dataspace;
 *          setting a value of \p 2 in allocation in the \p stride array moves

 *
 *          The \p count array determines how many blocks to select from the

 *
