Do you actually type -ascii? After all, it is the default save
format (unless you start octave with the --traditional option, in
which case I would expect that you would prefer to have the compatible
-ascii output format anyway) and I'm not planning to change that.
In any case, I'm leaning toward renaming the current -ascii to be
-text and then implementing a mostly Matlab compatible -ascii output
format. To ease the transition, we could first introduce -text as an
alias for -ascii and make -ascii print a warning saying that its
meaning will change in a future version to be compatible. Then after
some reasonable amount of time, we can change the behavior of -ascii
to be Matlab compatible.
