Re: new types and INSTALL_BINOP

[Francesco Potorti`]

   | I have conversion methods for this, eg:
   |    Matrix octave_sparse::matrix_value (bool = false) const {
   |       Matrix M= oct_sparse_to_full( X );
   |       return M;
   |    }
   
   (I'd write the body of this function as just
   
     return oct_sparse_to_full (X);
   
   since there is no need to have the declaration/initialization
   statement here.)

Maybe  I am  completely wrong,  but why  not simply  using  a conversion
operator?  Sorry if the syntax is  incorrect, I have not used this for a
long time:

octave_sparse::operator Matrix() { return oct_sparse_to_full(this); }
