I can see the point of your proposal, but I don't think we can just change the behavior of genfromtxt quite like this. I'm not an expert on the genfromtxt code, so I don't know if I exactly understand what is changing and what is staying the same. >From the look of the patch, it looks like you are changing the interpretation >so that whereas headers used to be allowed in the "first-line" of the comment, >they would no longer be allowed like that.

Now, we could add another keyword (headers=True, for example), that interpreted the first non-commented line as the header line. Something like that has a much higher chance of getting accepted from my perspective.
