problems with automatic matrix-to-scalar conversion

Wednesday, 30 November 2016

Hi,

another appearance of the subtle pitfalls of moving back and forth 
between a 1x1 matrix and a scalar.

<hansl>
function void matin( const matrix in)
   print in
end function

matin( {cdf(N, {3})} )	# works
matin(cdf(N, {3})) 	# fails
</hansl>

So the cdf() function "destroys" the matrix property here, while I think 
it shouldn't. (Don't know which other functions do as well.)

thanks,
sven
