Maybe I'm opening a can of worms, but I could imagine tabread etc taking an 
argument to specify which algorithm to use among a (small) list of those 
available. The current algorithm would be the default so as not to break 
existing patches. :)

I'm no expert, but if there are a known set of tried-and-true approaches, maybe 
they could added through a simple API. This is sort of how I refactored the 
soundfile type handling in the (as yet unmerged) soundfile object update 
branch:
