[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8918] fgridsearch as a gridsearch alternative to fminsearch

[Max Görner]

Follow-up Comment #2, patch #8918 (project octave):

I want to address only the question about the need of this function now.

You're right when you note that the function in the example can be written as
in your small listing. However, that's not the whole story. You can pass in
any function taking any number of inputs and you'll get back the best value
found by a gridsearch. Think of a complex model for which some meta parameters
need to be found. This saves plenty of loops and can make more readable.

If this is considered interesting, I'll try to fix the other issues.
