    _______________________________________________________

Details:

While porting some code I ran across the following construct


s = {'s1'};
s = [s; 's2'; 's3']


Octave fails for the above. I no longer have access to matlab and can't easily
check that matlab in fact supports the above. But the use of this code in the
package I'm porting seems to imply that matlab promotes the strings to cell
strings. So if someone could check the above and send the result it would be
great.

The fix is relatively trivial with the addition of two concatenation methods
in op-cell.cc
