That's hackish. If I have to resort to something like this, I would just
call next() on the open file object or iterator.
Still, the case of dtype=None, name=None is problematic. Suppose I want
genfromtxt() to detect the column names from the 1-st row and data types
from the 3-rd. How would you do that?
