Follow-up Comment #6:

I rebased your cset to the dev branch and applied it here
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/f357e076776f)

With regards to comment #2 and and when the '%e' format should be applied, the
documentation says:


Notable Behavior of Conversions with Formatting Operators

    Numeric conversions print only the real component of complex numbers.

    If you specify a conversion that does not fit the data, such as a string
conversion for a numeric value, MATLAB® overrides the specified conversion,
and uses %e.

    Example: '%s' converts pi to 3.141593e+00.

    If you apply a string conversion (%s) to integer values, MATLAB converts
values that correspond to valid character codes to characters.

    Example: '%s' converts [65 66 67] to ABC.


Thus, it appears to apply only to the %s and %c conversions which your patch
covers.
