//
// Each type supplies its own function to load the data, and so this
// function is extensible.
//
// FILENAME is used for error messages.
//
// The data is expected to be in the following format:
//
// The input file must have a header followed by some data.
//
// All lines in the header must begin with a '#' character.
//
// The header must contain a list of keyword and value pairs with the
// keyword and value separated by a colon.
//
// Keywords must appear in the following order:
//
// # name: <name>
// # type: <type>
// # <info>
//
// Where, for the built in types are:
//
//  <name> : a valid identifier
//
//  <type> : <typename>
//         | global <typename>
//
//  <typename> : scalar
//             | complex scalar
//             | matrix
//             | complex matrix
//             | bool
//             | bool matrix
//             | string
//             | range
//
//  <info> : <matrix info>
//         | <string info>
//
//  <matrix info> : # rows: <integer>
//                : # columns: <integer>
//
//  <string info> : # elements: <integer>
//                : # length: <integer> (once before each string)
//
//  For backward compatibility the type "string array" is treated as a
// "string" type. Also "string" can have a single element with no elements
// line such that
//
//  <string info> : # length: <integer>
//
// Formatted ASCII data follows the header.
//
// Example:
//
//  # name: foo
//  # type: matrix
//  # rows: 2
//  # columns: 2
//    2  4
//    1  3
//
// Example:
//
//  # name: foo
//  # type: string
//  # elements: 5
//  # length: 4
//  this
//  # length: 2
//  is
//  # length: 1
//  a
//  # length: 6
//  string
//  # length: 5
//  array
//
// FIXME: this format is fairly rigid, and doesn't allow for
// arbitrary comments.  Someone should fix that. It does allow arbitrary
// types however.

// Ugh.  The signature of the compare method is not standard in older
// versions of the GNU libstdc++.  Do this instead:
