[OctDev] 'map' function in Octave-Forge

[Tomer A. <ta...@lb...>]

Introducing 'map':

  ## usage: [ result ] = map ( FUN_STR, ARG1, ... )
  ##
  ## map, like LISP's ( & numerous other language's ) function for
  ## iterating the result of a function applied to each of the data
  ## structure's elements in turn. The results are stored in the
  ## corresponding input's place. For now, just will work with cells
  ##and
  ## matrices, but support for structs are intended for future
  ##versions.
  ## Also, only "postfix" functions ( like "min(a,b,c,..)" ) are
  ## supported.
  ##
  ## Example:
  ##
  ## octave> A
  ## A 
  ## {
  ##   [1,1] = 0.0096243
  ##   [2,1] = 0.82781
  ##   [1,2] = 0.052571
  ##   [2,2] = 0.84645
  ## }
  ## octave> B
  ## B =
  ## {
  ##   [1,1] = 0.75563
  ##   [2,1] = 0.84858
  ##   [1,2] = 0.16765
  ##   [2,2] = 0.85477
  ## }
  ## octave> map("min",A,B)
  ## ans =
  ## {
  ##   [1,1] = 0.0096243
  ##   [2,1] = 0.82781
  ##   [1,2] = 0.052571
  ##   [2,2] = 0.84645
  ## }
