I have a question about the virtual view feature that the hdf5 group is 
developing. My understanding is that I can build a view dataset out of elements 
from different datasets of the same type. I'm wondering if I can also build a 
view dataset that has a different but compatible type. For instance, if I had

datasetA
  type = Compound { float x, int a}

could I make a view dataset that is just of float, that pulls out the float x 
in the compound from in datasetA?

best,

David
