summary:     whos: kluge fix to get size right for objects


It would be really nice to fix this correctly as suggested by the comment in
the code that was re-quoted in comment #11.

If that were done, then isrow, iscolumn, isvector, isscalar would
automatically just work for instances of class objects.  The change that you
mention happened because those functions have been promoted to C++ for speed
and efficiency.  The old m-file implementations used to call size() which was
effectively overloaded for class objects.
