Details:

Hello:

In the GNU Octave interpreter, if I create a cell array as, for example


a = {'a',1,2;'b',3,4}


I obtain on the screen the result


a =
{
  [1,1] = a
  [2,1] = b
  [1,2] =  1
  [2,2] =  3
  [1,3] =  2
  [2,3] =  4
}


But in Matlab I obtain


a = 

    'a'    [1]    [2]
    'b'    [3]    [4]


I think the Matkab's output is better than tha Octave one, as it presents the
cell array in a more intiutive form (as a matrix) than Octave.

It would be nice if GNU Octave use tha same behavior as Matlab for the cell
array on screen output
