Details:

After the change in behavior of isscalar zscore is failing with empty OPT
argument, MCV:

++
zscore (rand (10,1), [], 1)
error: zscore: OPT must be empty, 0, or 1
error: called from
    zscore at line 60 column 7
--

One just needs to copy the check on opt from std.m, however ...
I know that it is better to fail as soon as possible, but zscore just passes
the OPT argument to std doing nothing with it, shouldn't std take care of OPT
then?
This way we do not have to maintain two checks on OPT, one of them redundant.
