Details:

I did some research and it is clear: matlab has no function iscomplex. 
Instead it has a function isreal as octave does. 

The bug in isreal if fixed must also trigger an according chage in iscomplex,
to that the functions fit together again. 
I would suggest to deprecate iscomplex, 
since is it just !isreal(x) (and also should be).
