fyi: pl_plot and whitespace_in_literal_matrix

[Douglas Eck]

For reasons I cannot remember, presumably matlab compatability, I had
whitespace_in_literal_matrix = "traditional"
in my .octaverc

This leads to the following behavior (which I think is bizarre, but hey,
I can turn it off --- in fact I had to explicitly turn it on!---so
who's complaining.)

ax=[1 2 3 4]
[ax (3), ax (4)]
ans =
        1        2        3        4        3        1        2        3        
4        4


This breaks plplot because the plplot-supplied axis.m
does this:

       __pl.axis(__pl_strm,[3,4]) = [ax (3), ax (4)];


Just an fyi! It took me a few minutes to figure it out.

Cheers,
Doug
