/// Read in columns from a text file
/** This function opens a file containing data formatted in columns and reads in the data row by row.
 * The data are stored in std::vectors, which should not be pre-allocated (though they could be reserve()-ed).
 *
 * Example:
 * \code
 * std::vector<int> i1;
 * std::vector<float> f1;
 * std::vector<double> d1;
 *
 * readColumns("data_file.txt", i1, f1, d1);
 * \endcode
 *
 * Note that the types of the vectors do not need to be specified as template arguments.
 *
 * The format of the file can be specified with template arguments like
 * \code
 * readColumns<',', ';', '\r'>("data_file.csv", i1, f1, d1);
 * \endcode
 * which sets the delimmiter to comma, the comment character to ;, and the end-of-line to \\r.
 *
 * Columns can be skipped using mx::ioutils::skipCol.
 *
 * \tparam delimT specifies the delimiters.  By default this is \ref readColSpaceDelim
 * \tparam verbose specifies the error reporting verbosity.  See \ref mx::verbose
