Follow-up Comment #1:

I made the change and a bit more to the documentation.   It now reads


 -- G = gcd (A1, A2, ...)
 -- [G, V1, ...] = gcd (A1, A2, ...)
     Compute the greatest common divisor of A1, A2, ....

     All arguments must be the same size or scalar.  For arrays, the
     greatest common divisor is calculated for each element
     individually.  All elements must be ordinary or Gaussian (complex)
     integers.  Note that for Gaussian integers, the gcd is only unique
     up to a phase factor (multiplication by 1, -1, i, or -i), so an
     arbitrary greatest common divisor among the four possible is
     returned.


Thanks for noticing this.

Marking as fixed and closing report.
