Cell array feature request.

[pascal.pype at b-holding.be]

Greetings,

First of all, this is not really a bug report but a feature request.
Becuase we don't know where to send feature requests, we
send it to 'bug at octave.org' nonetheless.

Consider the following code:

cellA = cell(2,2);
cellA(1,1) = 'Peep said the mouse in the birdy house.';
cellA(1,2) = rand(3,4);
cellA(2,2) = 3.14;

cellB = cell(2,2);
cellB(1,1) = 'The fox is jumping over the lazy dog.';
cellB(1,2) = 12;
cellB(2,1) = rand(3,5);
cellB(2,2) = struct('a',2,'b',4);

cellA(2,1) = cellB;
This gives rise to the following error message:

error: A(I, J) = X: X must be a scalar or the number of elements in I must
error: match the number of rows in X and the number of elements in J must
error: match the number of columns in X
error: assignment failed, or no method for `cell = cell'
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 75, column 12

Shouldn't it be possible to assign cell arrays towards cells in
circumventing cell arrays ? In other words: Should there be a method
within the octave classes that treats the case: `cell = cell' ?

Scincerely yours, Pype Pascal.
