 NAME
    H5S_hyper_clip
 PURPOSE
    Clip a list of nodes against the current selection
 USAGE
    herr_t H5S_hyper_add(space, nodes, uniq, overlap)
        H5S_t *space;       	  IN: Pointer to dataspace
        H5S_hyper_node_t *nodes;  IN: Pointer to list of nodes
        H5S_hyper_node_t **uniq;  IN: Handle to list of non-overlapping nodes
        H5S_hyper_node_t **overlap;  IN: Handle to list of overlapping nodes
 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
 DESCRIPTION
    Clips a list of hyperslab nodes against the current hyperslab selection.
    The list of non-overlapping and overlapping nodes which are generated from
    this operation are returned in the 'uniq' and 'overlap' pointers.  If
    either of those lists are not needed, they may be set to NULL and the
    list will be released.
 GLOBAL VARIABLES
 COMMENTS, BUGS, ASSUMPTIONS
    Clipping a multi-dimensional space against another multi-dimensional
    space generates at most 1 overlapping region and 2*<rank> non-overlapping
    regions, falling into the following categories in each dimension:
        Case 1 - A overlaps B on both sides:
            node            <----AAAAAAAA--->
                clipped against:
            existing        <-----BBBBB----->
                generates:
            overlapping     <-----CCCCC----->
            non-overlapping <----D---------->
            non-overlapping <----------EE--->

        Case 2 - A overlaps B on one side: (need to check both sides!)
            Case 2a:
                node            <------AAAAAA--->
                    clipped against:
                existing        <-----BBBBB----->
                    generates:
                overlapping     <------CCCC----->
                non-overlapping <----------EE--->
            Case 2b:
                node            <---AAAAA------->
                    clipped against:
                existing        <-----BBBBB----->
                    generates:
                overlapping     <-----CCC------->
                non-overlapping <---EE---------->

        Case 3 - A is entirely within B:
            node            <------AA------->
                clipped against:
            existing        <-----BBBBB----->
                generates:
            overlapping     <------CC------->

        Case 4 - A is entirely outside B: (doesn't matter which side)
            node            <-----------AAA->
                clipped against:
            existing        <-----BBBBB----->
                generates:
            non-overlapping <-----------AAA->

    This algorithm could be sped up by keeping track of the last (existing)
    region the new node was compared against when it was split and resume
    comparing against the region following that one when it's returned to
    later (for non-overlapping blocks).

    Another optimization is to build a n-tree (not certain about how many
    times each dimension should be cut, but at least once) for the dataspace
    and build a list of existing blocks which overlap each "n"-tant and only
    compare the new nodes against existing node in the region of the n-tree
    which the are located in.
