I am sure someone has been using this functionality to convert floats to ints. Changing will break their code. I am not sure how big a deal that would be. Also, I am of the opinion that one should _first_ write a program that works _correctly_, and only afterwards worry about performance.
While I'd agree in most cases, keep in mind that np.loadtxt is supposed to be a fast but simpler alternative to np.genfromtxt. If np.loadtxt becomes much slower, there's not much need to keep these separate any longer. Regards Stéfan
