Details:

In MATLAB, when loading a MAT-file containing an object whose class in not in
the path, one gets the warning:


MATLAB:elementsNowStruc
Element(s) of class 'myclass' do not match the current constructor definition.
 The element(s) have been converted to structures.


while with Octave, one gets:


warning: no constructor for class myclass


and, importantly, the variable is still an object of class myclass (in MATLAB,
it is a simple struct as expected).

Could an automatic conversion to a structure be implemented in such case?
