Yes, that's the intent, but I don't see how to guarantee it.

OK.  My intent was originally to avoid duplicating code, but now I've
more or less done it anyway.  I'd welcome concrete suggestions about
how to clean this up.  Eliminating arguments to the save_ascii
function and splitting the functionality out to two separate functions
is OK by me.  We already have save_ascii_data_for_plotting in
ls-oct-ascii.cc that calls save_ascii_data.
