HDF Vset can accomodate existing HDF data elements as well as varied,
irregularly structured, and non-uniform datasets of any size and
dimension. HDF Vset supports the following features:

- all kinds of regular (array-type) and irregular datasets may be
stored in one HDF file. This includes mesh data, multivariate
datasets, sparse matrices, finite-element data, spreadsheets, splines,
non-Cartesian coordinate data, and so forth.

- related and diverse datasets can be linked together hierarchically
to form logical groupings.
