Re: Useless functions in matlab function library.

[Guillem Borrell Nogueras]

I am not against OO.  In fact I am a happy python and C++ user.  It's just 
that the OO implementation in matlab is broken (IMO).  It's the only 
programming language where objects are not instances of a class. There's 
where my point is.  I think that the only reason to get a matlab-like OO in 
octave would be compatibility. 

I can boot both matlab and octave in my computer at work and almost always use 
octave because of the stupid "one function per file" matlab thing.  

Other example is the dblquad function, at less until the 7.0 version.
