Details:

Apparently isfinite() in Matlab accepts a char array input:


>> isfinite('abc')
ans =
  1x3 logical array
   1   1   1


while Octave expects a numeric array:


octave> isfinite('abc')
error: isfinite: argument must be numeric


Matlab documentation says that the input has to be an array and a char array
is indeed one.
