Subject: return type of surfc for MatlabR2008a or later

MatlabR2008a added a hold lot of additional group graphic objects like 
line, surface series, etc. Unfortunately, I only have access to 
MatlabR2007b at the moment and so don't know what exactly surfc 
returns.. Could someone out there with R2008a run

h = surfc(peaks())
a1 = get (h,'type')
a2 = get(h,'children')
a3 = cellfun(@(x) get(x,'type'), get(h,'children'),'UniformOutput', false)
save surfctest.mat a1 a2 a3

and send the output.

==============

>> h = surfc(peaks())

h =

  172.0016
  173.0011
  174.0011
  175.0011

  178.0011
  179.0011
  180.0011
  181.0011
  182.0011

>> a1 = get(h,'type')

a1 =

a2 =

>> a3 = cellfun(@(x) get(x,'type'), get(h,'children','UniformOutput',false))
??? Error using ==> get
Too many input arguments.

(I added the ".file" to the extension because my OS does not allow me to
copy and/or attach files with the apparently dangerous .mat extension)
