Can we add the user-defined dimension request to the end of the 
subdataset name string?

HDF4_SDS:subdataset_type:file_name:subdataset_index:user-defined-dimension

Ex:

gdalinfo HDF4_SDS:MODIS_L1B:my-hdf-file.hdf:2:134x2040
                                               ^^^^^^^^

That will not require any changes in the GDALOpen() API.
