Follow-up Comment #4, bug #51412 (project octave):

Documentation for Matlab's behavior is at
http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/strcmp.html.

Mixed char matrix / cellstr comparisons are tricky.  In bug #51187 I had to
change the ismember functionality specifically for Matlab compatibility

The do_strcmp_fun function is in libinterp/corefcn/strfns.cc.  I see that
there are several cases to handle broadcasting correctly.  For example, when
doing


strcmp ("b", {"a", "b", "c", "d"})


I have to rebuild Octave with debugging features in order to test what is
going on, but it may be an obvious extra case in the if/else tree needs to be
added to handle this.
