Hm, well I have used the o-f versions of csv2cell and cell2csv, and I like them
very much.  There is almost a perfect semantic mapping between a csv file and a
cell array.  In comparison csvread and its ilk seem brain dead.  I wouldn't
advocate spending a lot of time optimizing them.  Just please make sure we
don't lose csv2cell and cell2csv!
