concatenation bug?

[John W. Eaton]

Is there some reason that the following must fail?

  x = {1, 2};
  [x, @sin]          
  error: concatenation operator not implemented for `cell' by `function handle' 
operations

It seems that Matlab barfs on this as well, but I don't see why.

The reason I want to use it is to do something like this:

  args = {x, y};
  args = [args, @somefun];
  anotherfun (args{:});

Note that the following does work in Matlab:

  args = address@hidden;
  args = [args, pi/2];
  feval (args{:});
