[CS241] standardized format?

[Skip]

I agree that we should standardize.
CSV doesn't work with 3+D data (P(path|vp0,vp1) is 3D) and we'll need to
specify more than a data format to have our elements match.

A proposal

What is the 6th path? What is the 6th tense?
 1. Order paths by occurrence in 2-9, most common first.  We'll have to
report what they are, too, because we may disagree here.
 2. Order the 16 tenses that make sense ([01][01][1-4]) by tree.vals[8],
least to greatest
     Clump all other tenses together as the 17th tense.

Printing this information:
Given an order like this, we can trade nD arrays of numbers, and they'll
match.
Suppose we're trading P(x | y, z) -- think of it as P[i][j][k], an MxNxO
array where M is #x, N is #y, O is #z.
Print it like this
M N O
P[0][0][0]
P[0][0][1]
P[0][0][2]
...
P[0][1][0]
...

What do you think?

Might I suggest csv
I suggest
 on the first line, give the size of the array
 on each subsequent line, put one element

For example:

1 2
1
2

or:

1 2 3
1
2
3
4
5
6
