HDF5

The HDF5 module provides support for working with Hierarchical Data Format (HDF5) files in Nelson.

It allows users to create datasets, read and write data and attributes, and explore file contents.

In addition to standard HDF5 support, it includes utilities for Nelson's native .nh5 format, enabling users to save, load, and inspect workspace variables efficiently.

This module is essential for managing large, structured, and portable scientific data.
