Diagonalization of Hermitean matrix

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Hi!

Is there any way of letting Octave know that the matrix I am 
diagonalizing with eig() is Hermitean? The matrix_type() function dosn't 
seem to contain a choice for a Hermitean matrix. I was hoping that this 
could lead to a more efficient choice of LAPACK-function when invoking 
eig(). I think LAPACK has a diagonalization algorithm that is optimized 
for Hermitean matrices, so Octave should be able to use that algorithm 
in that case.

Best regards
