-    append .gz to work with compressed files, for example myHugeMatrix.xml.gz. If both FileStorage::WRITE

-    mydata.xml, .yml etc.).
-    @param flags Mode of operation. See  FileStorage::Mode
-    @param encoding Encoding of the file. Note that UTF-16 XML encoding is not supported currently and
-    you should use 8-bit encoding instead of it.
