extract_dim(space, dtype)

Arguments

`space`	The space with the selection that was used to read the dataset
`dtype`	The datatype of the dataset

Details

This function uses the space and the selection in it to set the correct dimension for the resulting object (but without dropping dimensions). Furthermore, if the datatype is an array, those dimensions are correctly determined as well.
