[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50854] zeros, ones, NaN, Inf, NA: "like" keyword

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #21, bug #50854 (project octave):

A classdef could overload the "is*" methods which might lead to unexpected
results again.

What about overriding the "type" input variable with class(var) in case of the
"like" syntax and keep the input validation for "type" as it was. (Store
is_like beforehand.)
That might also allow to slightly reduce the complexity of the conversion
block.

I haven't tested the changes yet. But they look good otherwise.
Could you prepare a mercurial patch including a commit message?
