I would vote against putting in any quick hacks unless they are
essential. It would probably be better (and maybe not that hard) to
go ahead and implement inline functions properly.

| * clean up the load-save mess
I think this might be a relatively hard problem, which is why it
hasn't been fixed yet. But maybe what I think cleaning up the mess
means is different from what you are thinking about. I mean that we
need some reasonable way to handle loading and saving user-defined
types, and also we need to decide whether it is worth trying to
support N different file types (HDF5, MAT4, MAT5, Octave binary,
Octave ASCII, etc.) in the load command.

Yes, this is definitely something that needs work, but no one ever
seems to want to work on it.
