to read _all_ variables and concatenate them in an array. If there is any other variable in the mat-file that does not have conformable dimensions, we abort with a crash. This deviates from earlier behavior and will result in many users reporting problems with backward compatibility if we release `4.5` this way. Is there a way to only load the specified `varobs`? Currently, it seems impossible to pass this through the `dseries`.4.6https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare/-/issues/1359Add interface to load datafile in Matlab's table-format2019-12-03T14:45:18ZJohannes PfeiferAdd interface to load datafile in Matlab's table-formatIn `R2013b`.
