   Seems like a reasonable convenience feature to me. Want to have a go at
   implementing it? We like pull requests :-)

   numpy function genfromtxt can skip header and footer lines. However
   sometimes we might want to control the number of rows to read directly. For
   example, a txt file might contain several blocks with different number of
   columns, we can't read them all in once. Specify nrow to read would be
   convenient.

   Is it possible add something like
   genfromtxt(file,skip_header=1,nrows=2) ?
