//! Generic, type-parameterized dataset I/O.
//!
//! The [`H5Element`] trait is the element bound that lets you read and write
//! datasets generically over the scalar type, instead of reaching for a
//! type-specific method like [`DatasetBuilder::with_i64_data`] or
//! [`Dataset::read_i64`](crate::Dataset::read_i64). It powers two entry points:
//!
//! * [`DatasetBuilder::with_data`] — write a flat slice of any supported scalar,
//! inferring the datatype and shape from the slice.
//! * [`Dataset::read`](crate::Dataset::read) — read a dataset back into a
//! `Vec<T>` for any supported scalar `T`.
//!
//! Both dispatch to the existing per-type methods, so a generic read or write
//! has exactly the same datatype, endianness, and conversion behavior as the
//! corresponding `with_*_data` / `read_*` call.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use hdf5_pure::{Dataset, Error, FileBuilder, H5Element};
//!
//! // A function generic over the element type — not possible with the
//! // type-specific `with_*_data` / `read_*` methods.
//! fn round_trip<T: H5Element + PartialEq + std::fmt::Debug>(name: &str, values: &[T]) {
//! let mut fb = FileBuilder::new();
//! fb.create_dataset(name).with_data(values);
//! let bytes = fb.finish().unwrap();
//!
//! let file = hdf5_pure::File::from_bytes(bytes).unwrap();
//! let back: Vec<T> = file.dataset(name).unwrap().read().unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(values, back.as_slice());
//! }
//!
//! round_trip("ints", &[1i64, 2, 3]);
//! round_trip("floats", &[1.0f32, 2.5, -3.0]);
//! ```
