[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #7990] Add builtin Qt equivalents of UI dialogs, i.e., , qterrordlg, qtinputdlg, etc.

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #10, patch #7990 (project octave):

> Also, I noticed that you reimplemented the code that validates function
arguments in C++. Why not keep that in the .m files and just implement the
core dialog funtionality in C++, similar to what was done with the java-based
code?

I didn't look at the Java code...until just now.  Yes, I suppose a hybrid
would work.  Certainly I could have used something like "isinteger()".  On the
other hand, I like programming in C++.  The Octave class library is set up
very similar to the standard library, and Qt has mimicked the standard library
as well.  It's to the point where I can almost guess at the member function
name and it's there.  Even in retrospect I suppose I'd prefer just C++ or just
script code rather than coordinate the two.  On the other hand, the hybrid at
least allows some tweaking of the documentation without having to recompile.
