Re: request for "assert"

[Paul Kienzle]

I've got a version at:

http://users.powernet.co.uk/kienzle/octave/matcompat/scripts/testfun/assert.m

It recursively walks structure trees, but doesn't handle lists.  Feel free
to extend it.

Ideally, each type should provide a comparator which determines if two
instances of that type have the same value within some error bound so
that assert would also work for user defined types.  Add an isequal
method to the octave_value class?
