I certainly understand that! In the meantime, it would be nice to get clear
error messages ("not implemented yet") for missing features, or at least have a
list of them somewhere in the documentation. Since I started my current
project, I spent more than half of my time on analyzing strange behavior that
was ultimately due to unimplemented features. I am seriously considering giving
up on the HDF Object layer and use the low-level libraries directly, just to
get rid of the bad surprises.
