I added extra documentation, and also made it an error if an N-D array is used with the -ascii option for compatibility with Matlab. See cset (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/aa127fce67e4).

The docstring for save() seems to be out of date. Several options such as '-double' and '-tabs' are not mentioned, although they are implemented. In addition, the documentation for '-ascii' could be clearer in specifying that the output will be a real-valued (complex vals are discarded) space-delimited 2-D array with only single precision.

This should be an easy fix as it is just documenting what already exists.
