Question: How can I copy a group from one file to another? #278

This is possible and easy to do using h5py, however, for me python is too slow so I am trying to use rust.

I seem to just be getting stuck with the issue that the types are not known at compile time. Is there are clean way of doing this or do I need to implement a copy function for each data type? which is very annoying it that is the case. Might be missing something, but it very hard to follow as the documentation is essentially non-existant. :(

I want to essentially just have a list of keys which get copied from one file to another. It really feels like it should not be hard to do.

We do not yet wrap H5Ocopy which would allow this functionality. PRs are welcome!
