Details:

It seems that function handle variables cannot be saved on disk when using
MATLAB's binary data format:


octave> A = @(x) x;
octave> save testmat.mat A -mat
warning: save: wrong type argument 'function handle'
error: save: error while writing 'A' to MAT file
warning: save: no such variable 'A'
octave> B = struct('field1',1,'field2',A);
octave> save testmat.mat B -mat
warning: save: wrong type argument 'function handle'
error: save: error while writing '' to MAT file
error: save: error while writing 'B' to MAT file
warning: save: no such variable 'B'
