/**
 * A utility function to load an ARFF dataset as numeric and categorical
 * features, using the DatasetInfo structure for mapping.  An exception will be
 * thrown upon failure.
 *
 * A pre-existing DatasetInfo object can be passed in, but if the dimensionality
 * of the given DatasetInfo object (info.Dimensionality()) does not match the
 * dimensionality of the data, a std::invalid_argument exception will be thrown.
 * If an empty DatasetInfo object is given (constructed with the default
 * constructor or otherwise, so that info.Dimensionality() is 0), it will be set
 * to the right dimensionality.
 *
 * This ability to pass in pre-existing DatasetInfo objects is very necessary
 * when, e.g., loading a test set after training.  If the same DatasetInfo from
 * loading the training set is not used, then the test set may be loaded with
 * different mappings---which can cause horrible problems!
 *
 * @param filename Name of ARFF file to load.
 * @param matrix Matrix to load data into.
 * @param info DatasetInfo object; can be default-constructed or pre-existing
 *     from another call to LoadARFF().
