For what it's worth, I think it's an improvement using the 1-d format on the
input.
I just used batch() on a couple of files that I had sitting around that I
would normally have load()'ed. Just based on that, I think using the 1-d
format made it less cluttered and (as you said) easier to tell input from output.
