Cannot return an Array3

[Søren Hauberg]

Hi
I was doing some work using octave 2.1.71 on linux in C++ where I tried 
to return an Array3 to the octave prompt. This failed since there 
doesn't appear to be an octave_value constructor for Array3. Is this a 
bug or a feature? (It's not a big deal since I can just use ArrayN 
instead, but I thought I'd better ask)

Here's my code:

#include <octave/oct.h>
#include <octave/Array3.h>

DEFUN_DLD(test, args, nargout,"")
{
    Array3<double> a3(3,3,3);
    return octave_value(a3);
}


And here's the error message I get from mkoctfile:

test.cc: In function `octave_value_list Ftest(const octave_value_list&, 
int)':
test.cc:9: error: call of overloaded `octave_value(Array3<double>&)' is
