[Rik]

Update of bug #44425 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
                 Release:                   3.8.0 => 4.0.0-rc1              
                 Summary: intersect results are in different shape than in
Matlab => set functions (intersect, union, etc.) are in different shape than
Matlab

Follow-up Comment #4:

This is related to bug #42577 (setdiff output dimension inconsistency) which
was fixed by following the rules derived there.  Apparently those were
incorrect.

This is a relatively easy fix because the code is just in m-files in the
scripts/set directory.  There is already provision to detect the orientation
of the inputs and "correct" the output orientation.  The documentation of each
m-file needs to be updated as well to reflect that now column vectors are the
preferred output.

This is a minor change so I don't have any issues checking in a fix before the
4.0 release as I don't think it will destabilize anything.  But I don't have
time to fix this right now myself.
