# Create a very simple representation of a simple dataset.
  # This is just an example. The result is
   # <data numVars="2" numRecords="3">
   # <varNames>
   #  <string>
   #   A
   #  </string>
   #  <string>
   #   B
   #  </string>
   # </varNames>
   # <record>
   #  1.2 3.5
   # </record>
   # <record>
   #  20.2 13.9
   # </record>
   # <record>
   #  10.1 5.67
   # </record>
   # </data>
