Details:

This is similar to https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?43097 (and is mentioned
there).  But the issue mentioned in the summary there is indeed closed.

Suppose you have a double array y.

Suppose you have an object x.

Try to assign "y(1) = x".  This probably should call "double(x)" automatically
(Matlab doeS).  Instead we get an error.

Example using the Symbolic pkg:

x = sym(2)
y = [0 0]
y(1) = x
error: operator =: no conversion for assignment of 'class' to indexed
'matrix'
error: assignment failed, or no method for 'matrix = class'


This is downstream issue https://github.com/cbm755/octsympy/issues/191
