Well, if you try to draw a line between "general enough" and
specialized you will see how fuzzy the boundary is.
I think is good to have OF with field specific routines, definitely.
But there is some fuctionality there (like inputParser, yeah I know we
wait for classdef) that could eventually be moved into core.

Anyway, Lets see what Jordi says to your questions since he is the one
who added importdata to core.
