We definitely should strongly consider not doing that.
I assume that the problem for MATLAB is that it doesn't read in anything
but numbers from a text file. Thus, it must convert character strings to
numerical representations (using ascii character numbers, I think) before
saving. To store complex numbers, you need a way to represent pairs -
Octave uses parentheses and commas, but MATLAB (apparently) can't read in
parentheses and commas.
What can ya do? I think this is a good place to limit compatibility.
