Follow-up Comment #3:

This seems reasonbale.  The Mathworks, in their answer, recommend the same
strategy of separating the variables (data) from the processing code.

I suppose one thing we could do is check the file size before attempting to
parse the m-file and just issue an error if it is too large.  This would be
nicer than an abrupt crash.

Re-titling to reflect that.
