// 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

//             | 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

Query or set the internal variable that specifies the number of digits to
keep when saving data in text format.
 
The default value is 17 which is the minimum necessary for the lossless saving
and restoring of IEEE@tie{}754 double values; For IEEE@tie{}754 single values
the minimum value is 9.  If file size is a concern, it is probably better to
choose a binary format for saving data rather than to reduce the precision of
the saved values.
 
When called from inside a function with the @qcode{"local"} option, the
variable is changed locally for the function and any subroutines it calls.
The original variable value is restored when exiting the function.
