Well, sure, there could be more syntactical sugar like awk for dlmread, plus
there is still the intermediate step of changing the above parsed data into a
matrix.  Intuitive and a single line is always better than sort of intuitive and
four lines.

It's all good, though, especially the fact that Octave does the right thing over
multiple rows and columns.
