find subvector with findstr / strfind

[inor0627]

Hello,

I used to locate a sequence of numbers in a longer vector via findstr(),
e.g.
findstr( [3 4 5 3 4] , [3 4] )
ans =  1   4. 
Today I came across the information that findstr() is scheduled for
deprecation and one should use strfind() instead. 

However, trying
strfind( [3 4 5 3 4] , [3 4] )
results in:
error: strfind: PATTERN must be a string or cell array of strings.

Will non-strings be supported in a future version of strfind() or should I
use another approach for finding subvectors?

My octave version is 4.0.0 on Win7.

Best regards,
Ingo

PS: In Matlab 2012 strfind() as well as findstr() can be used with
non-strings.
