Hi all,

Consider:

> if (object) disp('hi') end

Matlab seems to automatically call "if (logical(object))" at least
for non-builtin objects, which is rather nice.

I can't really tell what Octave does: so far looks same as "if
(false)"  :)   Please can someone suggest where look in the source code?

(There are also discrepancies w.r.t. "if (array)" between Octave and
Matlab.  And between Matlab and its own documentation!  I will
submit bugs but should look at source first...)

thanks,
Colin
