[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8303] vectorized parcellfun and pararrayfun

[Olaf Till]

Follow-up Comment #3, patch #8303 (project octave):

Since your patch is long, I would like to put off studying its code until I'm
convinced that the additional functionality could have enough general
usefulness to be worth the complication of the currently very clearcut code of
parcellfun/pararrayfun.

pararrayfun already provides calling of vectorized user functions with chunks
of the array arguments. What different functionality is provided by your
patch?

You write, among others, that some arguments can be passed 'as is'. This
should also be achievable with anonymous functions.

Also you write that the dimensions along which to operate can be selected and
the outputs can be concatenated along selectable dimensions. This seems of too
limited general usefulness to me to be included into parcellfun/pararrayfun.
If someone has such special needs, the arguments of parcellfun can be
pre-shaped accordingly.

Maybe I've missed the point, if so, please tell me.
