Comment(by rc):

 On the other hand, there is already skiprows... I mean "not reading" the
 file till its end seems to me simple enough. With the above patch one
 would get a nice functionality without extra work, and still get the speed
 of the simple loadtxt().

 PS: Thanks Paul for looking at this!
