Cool.  I was working on it this morning, but didn't like my solution. 
Hence the question.

Not this topic but a very good idea nonetheless.

Hi Bruce,

At the moment, No.  But that should be easy and a very good idea to
separate reading headers plus the data table from naming of the 1d
arrays...  Like, I often run into cases where I want to rename arrays after
reading the file.  I'll work on that.

I'd also like to be able to sensibly handle columns of non numeric data.
Maybe that's too separate a topic
