## Write the numeric matrix @var{M} to the text file @var{file} using a
## delimiter.
##
## @var{file} should be a filename or a writable file ID given by @code{fopen}.
##
## The parameter @var{delim} specifies the delimiter to use to separate values
## on a row.  If no delimiter is specified the comma character @samp{,} is
## used.
##
## The value of @var{r} specifies the number of delimiter-only lines to add to
## the start of the file.
##
## The value of @var{c} specifies the number of delimiters to prepend to each
## line of data.
##
## If the argument @qcode{"-append"} is given, append to the end of @var{file}.
##
## In addition, the following keyword value pairs may appear at the end of
## the argument list:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"append"}
## Either @qcode{"on"} or @qcode{"off"}.  See @qcode{"-append"} above.
##
## @item @qcode{"delimiter"}
## See @var{delim} above.
##
## @item @qcode{"newline"}
## The character(s) to separate each row.  Three special cases exist for this
## option.  @qcode{"unix"} is changed into @qcode{"@xbackslashchar{}n"},
## @qcode{"pc"} is changed into @qcode{"@xbackslashchar{}r@xbackslashchar{}n"},
## and @qcode{"mac"} is changed into @qcode{"@xbackslashchar{}r"}.  Any other
## value is used directly as the newline separator.
##
## @item @qcode{"roffset"}
## See @var{r} above.
##
## @item @qcode{"coffset"}
## See @var{c} above.
##
## @item @qcode{"precision"}
## The precision to use when writing the file.  It can either be a format
## string (as used by fprintf) or a number of significant digits.
