With the lack of response, I've been trying to hack h5diff to print
compound type field labels. I'm planning on sharing patches in the
hopes that the changes will get integrated into the distribution.
That said, is there a preference of the positioning of the field name?
I've currently added the feature to the function that prints the element
position in the dataset, so it looks like:
[ 1 0 ]latency -198.484 -136.111 62.3722
but could add it to the end instead (yeah I realize the format above
needs a bit of work). It's slightly more difficult to add a field label
to the end, but not impossible.
Any comments from the HDF team? Quincy? Peter? Barbara?

course different between the two systems.
These are (nearly) all compound types that I'm comparing, and I'd like
to be able to ignore the "latency" field when doing comparisons, but I
don't see any way to do this with h5diff. What's more, I haven't been
able to get h5diff to print the field name with the different output,
so I can't be sure the differences are all the latency without
hand-inspecting each and every value (there are thousands).
Is there a more efficient way to do differencing on hdf5 files where
you ignore one or more field of a compound type?
