Re: hdf5 file format

[David Bateman]

I'm responsable for that. The reason is that o support arbitrary user
types in the load/save of hdf5 files, the octave typename is saved
with the variable itself. I've already made use of this capability in
the load/save ov-galois.cc in octave-forge for the Galois field type.
And I use it in other code I'm not yet in a position to share.

That being said, the current version of octave can import hdf5
files can load matrix objects directly from hdf5 files.

David
