Details:

Again, I'm using a construction which I think should be permissible frequently
in my Matlab code:


for ITEM = LIST(:)',
    CODEBLOCK;
end


The colon operator followed by the transpose operation makes sure that the
for-loop indeed selects individual items from LIST. Now, if LIST is of type
struct, this works for any size combination (with 2 dims, obviously), 0x0,
0xN, Nx0, 1xN, Nx1, MxN, except 1x1 (scalar struct), which IMO should just
return the same object. While there is a workaround possible by adding a
construction like


if numel(LIST) ~= 1,
    % FORLOOP;
else,
    % SINGLEBLOCK;
end


around the code, this is really cumbersome and should not be necessary, should
it?
