Wouldn't this be easier to read (and marginally faster) if written as:

if (strcmp (cname, "float"))
  retval = any (strcmp (class (x), {"double" "single"}));
elseif (strcmp (cname, "fnumeric"))
  classes = {"double" "single" "uint8" "uint16" "uint32" "uint64" "int8" "int16" "int32" "int64"};
  retval = any (strcmp (class (x), classes));
else
  retval = strcmp (class (x), cname);
endif


Have a good day,
