 I think it would be feasible to support multi-dimensional saving/loading
 quite simply by using multiple line-breaks for 'higher-dimensional'
 linebreaks.

 {{{
 d3D = numpy.array([[[111, 112], [121, 122]],
                    [[211, 212], [221, 222]]])
 }}}

 could be written to text quite unambigiously as

 {{{
 111 112
 121 122
             <--- two line breaks indicate break in the 3rd dimension
 211 212
 221 222
 }}}

 Similarly, 3 line breaks could indicate a break in the 4th dimension.

 Another option would be to have the option to write out text in nested-
 list format. I.e., simply write

 [[[111, 112], [121, 122]], [[211, 212], [221, 222]]]

 to the file.
