Hello.  My reading of S. 9.1 `MSH ASCII file format'
<http://geuz.org/gmsh/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#MSH-ASCII-file-format> was
that in the old `2 0 8', the zero and eight were the file type and the
size of the floating point numbers used in the file, respectively, so
`2 1 0' would mean something quite different.
