That, on the contrary, is fantastic news. I am no longer a heavy user of
matlab (it must be a couple of years since I last coded anything in
matlab), but it is very handy to know this. Thanks for keeping us
informed. This means the death of my matlab scripts, and that's good
news: the less code to maintain the better.

Cheers,
