Details:

I know, matlab does not support norm(x,'inf'). 
Instead one has to write norm(x,Inf). 
Octave supports norm(x,'inf') but not norm(x,'-inf'), 
although both norm(x,Inf) and norm(x,-Inf). 

This is inconsistent. 

Well, I ask for that extension because there is a good reason, 
too difficult to explain here, 
why i cannot use Inf in this context.
