A word of warning: these routines are useful for some things (like
command line use or "Import to commandline" functionality), but overuse
can make code difficult to deal with.

For example, creating variables by restoring a Save file can be useful
on the command line, but in a procedure/function it can be difficult to
determine where a variable came from. Compare using RESTORE:

restore, 'mysavefile.sav'
; my_var pops into existence without any mention of its name

with my library routine to deal with Save files:

my_var = mg_save_getdata('mysavefile.sav', 'my_var')
