Description

It would be great to either in ADIOS2 or here have an option to mask `Selections` (offset+extent) reads that are outside of available data index space (openPMD: `availableChunks()`) with a constant value, e.g., zero.

This would simplify implementations like:

for the mesh-refinement extension
