=================================
Note on functions and mat files
=================================
The document above does not give any hints as to the storage of matlab
function handles, or anonymous function handles. I had therefore to
guess the format of matlab arrays of ``mxFUNCTION_CLASS`` and
``mxOPAQUE_CLASS`` by looking at example mat files.
``mxFUNCTION_CLASS`` stores all types of matlab functions. It seems to
contain a struct matrix with a set pattern of fields. For anonymous
functions, a sub-fields of one of these fields seems to contain the
well-named ``mxOPAQUE_CLASS``. This seems to contain:
* array flags as for any matlab matrix
* 3 int8 strings
* a matrix
It seems that, whenever the mat file contains a ``mxOPAQUE_CLASS``
instance, there is also an un-named matrix (name == '') at the end of
the mat file. I'll call this the ``__function_workspace__`` matrix.
When I saved two anonymous functions in a mat file, or appended another
anonymous function to the mat file, there was still only one
``__function_workspace__`` un-named matrix at the end, but larger than
that for a mat file with a single anonymous function, suggesting that
the workspaces for the two functions had been merged.
The ``__function_workspace__`` matrix appears to be of double class
(``mxCLASS_DOUBLE``), but stored as uint8, the memory for which is in
the format of a mini .mat file, without the first 124 bytes of the file
header (the description and the subsystem_offset), but with the version
U2 bytes, and the S2 endian test bytes. There follow 4 zero bytes,
presumably for 8 byte padding, and then a series of ``miMATRIX``
entries, as in a standard mat file. The ``miMATRIX`` entries appear to
be series of un-named (name == '') matrices, and may also contain arrays
of this same mini-mat format.
I guess that:
* saving an anonymous function back to a mat file will need the
associated ``__function_workspace__`` matrix saved as well for the
anonymous function to work correctly.
* appending to a mat file that has a ``__function_workspace__`` would
involve first pulling off this workspace, appending, checking whether
there were any more anonymous functions appended, and then somehow
merging the relevant workspaces, and saving at the end of the mat
file.
The mat files I was playing with are in ``tests/data``:
* sqr.mat
* parabola.mat
* some_functions.mat
See ``tests/test_mio.py:test_mio_funcs.py`` for a debugging
script I was working with.

""" Pull variables out of mat 5 file as a sequence of mat file objects
This can be useful with a difficult mat file, containing unreadable
variables. This routine pulls the variables out in raw form and puts them,
unread, back into a file stream for saving or reading. Another use is the
pathological case where there is more than one variable of the same name in
the file; this routine returns the duplicates, whereas the standard reader
will overwrite duplicates in the returned dictionary.
The file pointer in `file_obj` will be undefined. File pointers for the
returned file-like objects are set at 0.
Parameters
----------
file_obj : file-like
file object containing mat file
Returns
-------
named_mats : list
list contains tuples of (name, BytesIO) where BytesIO is a file-like
object containing mat file contents as for a single variable. The
BytesIO contains a string with the original header and a single var. If
``var_file_obj`` is an individual BytesIO instance, then save as a mat
file with something like ``open('test.mat',
'wb').write(var_file_obj.read())``
Examples
--------
>>> import scipy.io
BytesIO is from the ``io`` module in python 3, and is ``cStringIO`` for
python < 3.
>>> mat_fileobj = BytesIO()
>>> scipy.io.savemat(mat_fileobj, {'b': np.arange(10), 'a': 'a string'})

''' Write variables in `mdict` to stream
Parameters
----------
mdict : mapping
mapping with method ``items`` returns name, contents pairs where
``name`` which will appear in the matlab workspace in file load, and
``contents`` is something writeable to a matlab file, such as a numpy
array.
write_header : {None, True, False}, optional
If True, then write the matlab file header before writing the
variables. If None (the default) then write the file header
if we are at position 0 in the stream. By setting False
here, and setting the stream position to the end of the file,
you can append variables to a matlab file
