** There was a thread on the maintainers mailing-list by jwe.  Open discourse thread about it.
* Loading and saving
** Octave load/save supports a bunch of data types (mat v4, text, ascii, ...)
*** Deprecate some of them?  Open Discourse discussion about it.
*** Large array support for Octave's own storage types?
*** Storage of nested functions in mat v4 in Matlab possible?
** Focus on the HDF5 format in the future.  Matlab prioritizes it too, external tools for viewing the files available.
** Support classdef load/save.
