[Gretl-devel] new accessor

Jack and I have recently been working on a new accessor. It's named "$result" (so far) and it gets you a matrix after execution of commands that don't have specific accessors of their own but whose output can reasonably be represented as a matrix. So far we've implemented this for corr, freq, summary, vif (the BKW matrix) and xtab (the simple two-variable case only). We have in mind a few other commands that could benefit from this treatment. The accessor works a bit like $model, in that each time a supported command is executed the prior $result matrix (if any) is destroyed and a new one substituted. We considered requiring a new option (say, --savemat) to make this happen (since if the matrix isn't wanted we've wasted some CPU cycles building it) but our current view is that it's not really worthwhile.
