[Stefan Mueller]

num2str needs to work like matlab (originally it worked
like _char,char)

num2str:

This can return a matrix in matlab. The current code does not allow for this.

Test cases to be included (ignoring whitespace differences):

num2str(49) -> "49"
num2str(49.0) -> "49"
num2str(49.01) -> "49.01"
num2str([ 1 2 3]) -> "1 2 3"
num2str([ 1.0 2.0 3; 4.01 5 6.02]) -> "1 2 3"
"4.01 5 6.02"

Stefan, can you confirm this should be done by returning a MatrixToken (which then wraps CharToken's) from the num2str class in the case of a matrix result. For a single result i will simply return a CharToken.

If so then i can create a patch and also update the test cases.

CVS has a patch which uses MatrixToken (which then wraps CharToken's), but the results are not as i expected.

From what i can deduce i think that i need to create a StringToken which holds a vector of CharToken's. Will give that a go.

Ok i get it now. Patch to come shortly. Sorry for confusion.
