Details:

Dear all,

Undocumented superiorfloat Matlab function is missing in GNU Octave. In the
following snippet it is used to define the tolerance in terms of inputs a and
b, returning either "single" or "double" strings.



tol = fudge_factor*eps(superiorfloat(a,b))*length(a);



Results may vary as it is hardly mentioned in the documentation, it is neither
present in undocumentedmatlab.com blog. I wouldn't give this a high priority.
