BTW I got this because of the following snippet:

>> c = ['1 2 3 ', ...
     '4 5 6']
c =

1 2 3
4 5 6

>> strrep(c, '2', '0')
ans = 14  05  36

This is confusing, to say the least. :-)

The right result should be:
c = 1 2 3 4 5 6
ans = 1 0 3 4 5 6

Not that it matters much but in Matlab (according to the documentation and 
asking a colleague to test it) we get and error if the first argument is not a 
character vector.

Should I fill this as a Matlab compatibility issue or is this done on purpose?
