The reason for the 9 failing tests is that this is the behavior of
Matlab itself and so they can't really be said to be failing. Therefore,
I'd say comment out the failing tests before this is included in octave
itself. Also all of these tests are real matrix only and it probably
makes sense to have at least complex versions of the same tests. Though
the code that these tests exercise is all in Sparse<T>::assign and
Sparse<T>::assign1 functions so the same code is exercised in both case,
this might not always be the case, and having the same tests with
different matrix types might avoid issues in the future.
