I would expect that the datatype that was saved, is the datatype that is loaded. So preferably if I save a string array of e.g., type `<U5`, I expect it would still be `<U5` when loaded, not suddenly HDF5 `VLEN` types.

I can confirm that both problems are indeed fixed on my end when using `h5netcdf` and the code from your PR :tada:","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 1, ""eyes"": 0}",,1632718954
