_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

filenames: filenames The paths to the files to load

data_type: The data type ("data", "design", "info", "list")

entity_type: The entity type (by default: "gene", "met", "prot"), only
          used if 'data_type' is provided.

ignoreUnknown: If 'FALSE', throw an error if the data/entity type
          cannot be determined for a file; otherwise, the file is
          ignored.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     If the 'data_type' is specified, it is assumed that all the files
     are of the given 'data_type' and 'entity_type'. Otherwise, the
     types are autodetected based on file extensions.
