    returning non-zero) in the "middle" of the iteration and may be re-started
    by the user where it left off.

        the selection is not modified.

 NAME
    H5S_select_shape_same
 PURPOSE
    Check if two selections are the same shape
 USAGE
    htri_t H5S_select_shape_same(space1, space2)
        const H5S_t *space1;         IN: 1st Dataspace pointer to compare
        const H5S_t *space2;         IN: 2nd Dataspace pointer to compare
 RETURNS
    TRUE/FALSE/FAIL
 DESCRIPTION
    Checks to see if the current selection in the dataspaces are the same
    dimensionality and shape.
    This is primarily used for reading the entire selection in one swoop.
 GLOBAL VARIABLES
 COMMENTS, BUGS, ASSUMPTIONS
    Assumes that there is only a single "block" for hyperslab selections.
 EXAMPLES
 REVISION LOG
    Modified function to view identical shapes with different dimensions 
    as being the same under some circumstances.

 NAME
    H5S_select_construct_projection

 PURPOSE
    Given a dataspace a of rank n with some selection, construct a new
    dataspace b of rank m (m != n), with the selection in a being 
    topologically identical to that in b (as verified by 
    H5S_select_shape_same().

    This function exists, as some I/O code chokes of topologically 
    identical selections with different ranks.  At least to begin 
    with, we will deal with the issue by constructing projections
    of the memory dataspace with ranks equaling those of the file 
    dataspace.

    Note that if m > n, it is possible that the starting point in the 
    buffer associated with the memory dataspace will have to be 
    adjusted to match the projected dataspace.  If the buf parameter
    is not NULL, the function must return an adjusted buffer base
    address in *adj_buf_ptr.

 DESCRIPTION
    Construct a new dataspace and associated selection which is a 
    projection of the supplied dataspace and associated selection into 
    the specified rank.  Return it in *new_space_ptr.

    If buf is supplied, computes the base address of the projected 
    selection in buf, and stores the base address in *adj_buf_ptr.
    
 GLOBAL VARIABLES
 COMMENTS, BUGS, ASSUMPTIONS
    The selection in the supplied base_space has thickness 1 in all 
    dimensions greater than new_space_rank.  Note that here we count
    dimensions from the fastest changing coordinate to the slowest 
    changing changing coordinate.
