Preserve order of struct fields?

Hi, would you consider using OrderedDict instead of Dict when reading struct, so that the order of struct fields can be preserved? The following patch has worked for my particular application. (Though I have been wishing Julia's default Dict implementation can preserve order)

Start in src/MAT_HDF5.jl at m_read(g::HDF5.Group), where struct field names are collected and the result is built as a Dict. Compare the proposed OrderedDict and MATLAB_fields handling with the existing fallback behavior. Done means MATLAB structs preserve their field order when read without changing other group-reading behavior.
