GOOD IDEA!
Actually that more relates to what happens.
I have an editor that can change all my
save -ascii
to
save -text
pretty painlessly
As bad as it makes octave, octave's goal is to be
compatible with matLab language, but there's nothing wrong
having functionally better "extra's" here and there.
