Fixes gonum/hdf5#8.

Sorry, I'm having second thoughts about this change. I'm thinking about how much we can lend from type/kind naming in the reflect package; under this we would have Datatype=>Type and Class=>Kind. The single bit of grit that is getting in the way is that we have a type-like type associated with the Identifier type, currently called IType. I think maybe that should become IdentifierType (much as the long name is unpleasant). While that's happening, the Id() method should become ID() There are also a few cases where N* is used where Num* would be preferable.
