would be a
dataset with 4 rows and 10 columns, i.e. 10 x 4.</p>
<p>This does feel rather unintuitive, forcing a user to specify the
second dimension to get all items of the array. Therefore, we have
implemented it so that a 10 x 4 dataset is returned, with each row
corresponding to the array-datatype. In order to achieve this we have to
deviate from the ordering principle in HDF5. Where in HDF5, the elements
of the first internal array are in position 1, 2, 3 and 4 (or 0 to 3
when you start counting at 0),
