Follow-up Comment #10:

I know this seems confusing, but this definition of array is just the way
Matlab and Octave work.

Unfortunately, the docstring for arrayfun can't be changed to say "numerical
array" because "numeric" has a very specific meaning in Octave.  See the
documentaion for isnumeric


Return true if X is a numeric object, i.e., an integer, real, or
complex array.  Logical and character arrays are not considered to be
numeric.


Changing arrayfun to say that it operates on numerical arrays would imply that
it does not work on logical or character arrays.  This is not the case.


str = "abc";
isnumeric (str)
ans = 0
arrayfun (@toupper, str)
ans = ABC
