Description
Just food for thought, but I am thinking if it would make sense to have a lower level C API for `openPMD`, that could be easily used from other languages.
One example of a C++ library that does this very nicely is [DuckDB](https://duckdb.org/docs/archive/0.8.1/api/c/overview.html) which can be interfaced from Python, R, Java, Julia, Swift etc.
I guess Fortran can also use such an API.
