Details:

This is a small suggestion to have uicontrol only return a handle when
explicitly requested, in alignment with Matlab's behavior.

I used the same mechanism as in uimenu but I wonder what is the recommended
way to proceed:

++
function varargout = fcn (varargin)
  varargout = {};
  H = ...
  if (nargout > 0)
    varargout = {H};
  endif
endfunction
--

instead of:

++
function H = fcn (varargin)
  tmp = ...
  if (nargout > 0)
    H = tmp;
  endif
endfunction
--
