I find the idea of [sparse frames](https://www.blosc.org/posts/introducing-sparse-frames/) clear and very useful. But then my intuition tells me: since it's a _sparse_ frame, there must be a way to skip chunks during writing, e.g. for out-of-order writing of chunks produced by distributed computing. I go to find it in the API, and find nothing regarding this feature. Is it my intuition wrong or atypical? What other meaning the _sparse_ term could possible have, then? Or is it a TODO feature?
Why no chunk skipping in sparse frame?
