    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The range operator does not support complex arguments.  That by itself is
fine, but it would be nice if there was a warning issued by the interpreter
that they are unsupported.  Instead, Octave just returns an empty matrix.

Sample code to reproduce:


x = -pi*i:0.1*i:pi*i
x = [](1x0)


For comparison, Matlab returns the empty matrix, but also issues a warning.
