That's fine. Auto bsx is nice and I've lobbied hard for it in the past
(and I'm very glad it's here). Translation to Matlab is just an aspect
of it I hadn't appreciated. I like to lie to myself that I'm writing
code that could be easily translated to Matlab if I really ever had
to, but that day has never come (knock on wood). :D
