cell-array display in class

[Colin Macdonald]

Hi,

I like how Octave displays cell arrays.  Is it possible to enable the 
`[i,j] = ` display in my own class?  If so, how?  If not, I'll file a 
bug to improve on the status quo shown below.

Example: good:

> >> C = {1 2; 3 4}
> C =
> {
>   [1,1] =  1
>   [2,1] =  3
>   [1,2] =  2
>   [2,2] =  4
> }

Not so good:

> >> pkg load symbolic
> >> pkg load interval
>
> >> C(2,1) = sym('x')
> C =
> {
>   [1,1] =  1
> (sym) x
>   [1,2] =  2
>   [2,2] =  4
> }
> >> C(2,2) = infsup(0,5)
> C =
> {
>   [1,1] =  1
> (sym) x
>   [1,2] =  2
> [0, 5]
> }

FWIW, Matrix would say:

> C =
>     [1]          [         2]
>     [1x1 sym]    [1x1 infsup]

But I rather like Octave's approach.
