If there is an incompatibility, please file a bug report so that the
issue won't be forgotten.

Is the Matlab behavior documented?

I read what matlab has online and it doesn't say anything about the result being a column or row vector
but just that it returns a string. Shouldn't a string be a row vector? Octave returns a column vector now, and I think we should change it.

Any thoughts?
