I would love to see this kind of implementation, though I don't know much
about the support for hdf5 in matlab.  From a cursory review of the docs,
it looks like it is pretty awful to work with in matlab.  For better or worse,
I think that most people end up using the 'save' function.

I agree that matlab is proprietary and shouldn't be a core boost library, which
means it probably should be in the numeric bindings.
