I would like to support Sven's and Jack's views on this. It is really
convenient to work with matrices with zero columns or rows. I agree that
the number of rows should be same same for ~ and columns for |.
I think it would be a good thing if Gretl accepted zero dimension matrices
more generally. For example, letting zeros(5,0)*zeros(0,5) return a 5x5
zero matrix and mols(mnormal(10,2),zeros(10,0),&res) return a zeros(0,2)
matrix a overwrite res with the values from mnormal(10,2). It really works
well in Matlab. It would simplify my code enormously as I could remove many
if/else statements.
