-HDFStore supports ``Panel4D`` storage.

-These, by default, index the three axes ``items, major_axis,
-minor_axis``. On an ``AppendableTable`` it is possible to setup with the
-first append a different indexing scheme, depending on how you want to
-store your data. Pass the ``axes`` keyword with a list of dimensions
-(currently must by exactly 1 less than the total dimensions of the
-object). This cannot be changed after table creation.
