Here's another Matlab compatability problem. The scripts we have pass
arguments as string/value pairs, for instance
foo ("bar", 1);
Function foo then scans its arguments, matching the values to variables
corresponding to the strings, so that variable bar would be set to 1.
This doesn't work in octave. Arrays of strings seem to be treated as
though the strings were being concatenated into one long array of
characters. If I call the test program below as
args ("hello");
it says that it's getting 5 arguments, each being one character of
"hello". I get similar behavior with internally-defined arrays of
strings. Suggestions?

% test function to echo string arguments
function args (argv)
argc = length (argv);
printf ("argc = %d\n", argc);
for i = 1:argc
printf ("arg %d = %s\n", i, argv (i));
end
endfunction
