After reading 2-12 ff. and 2-398 ff. in the Matlab Function Reference,
Volume 1, Version 5, I expect all of the following to give the same
result ('T'), but they don't.  Is this a bug or documentation error, or
have I missed something?

expr=(1|[]); if expr , disp('T'), else disp('F'), end % F
expr=([]|1); if expr , disp('T'), else disp('F'), end % F
             if(1|[]), disp('T'), else disp('F'), end % T
             if([]|1), disp('T'), else disp('F'), end % F
        if(all(1|[])), disp('T'), else disp('F'), end % T
        if(all([]|1)), disp('T'), else disp('F'), end % T

I've tested this with R11.1 on PCWIN and SOL2.
