+--------------------------------------------------------------------------

+Purpose of the thorn:
+
+Input and output data using the HDF5 based F5 file format.
+
+
+
+An F5 file contains the following hierarchy:
+
+ Bundle
+ Slice
+ Grid
+ Topology
+ Representation
+ Field
+
+We have a class hierarchy:
+
+ file
+ timestep (slice)
+ simulation (grid) [grid hierarchy of one patch]
+ topology (topology) [one refinement level]
+ coordinate_system (representation)
+ physical_quantity (field)
+ data_region
+ tensor_component
