\description{
Create an empty R-object according to a given HDF5 datatype
}
\details{
With complex datatypes it can be useful to have a template that can be used so that the
data input into a dataset conforms to expectations.
Given a datatype, this function creates an object of length \code{nelem}.
Here, an empty datatype refers to objects with value 0 for numeric objects and
empty strings.
