## @deftypefn {} {@var{b} =} loadobj (@var{a})
## Method of a class to manipulate an object after loading it from a file.
##
## The function @code{loadobj} is called when the object @var{a} is loaded
## using the @code{load} function.  An example of the use of @code{saveobj}
## might be to add fields to an object that don't make sense to be saved.
##
## @seealso{saveobj, class}
