Yes, but maintainers are also users as well :-) .... In any case the
main issue I see is that this isn't a builtin version and so might be
limited in speed relative to the matlab version. Though if it is
adequate I see no reason to write it as an oct-file. In any case if it
does need to be written as an Octave file, having a good m-file version
that is consistent with the matlab version is a good first step.

Unfortunately I'm traveling at the moment and can not test this code
against matlab for speed. Frankly if its less that a factor of 5 slower
than matlab I see no reason to write it as an oct-file..
