I preferred Sergei's solution over yours (not "rejected" yours) on the
grounds of Sergei's solution allowing both simple iteration over full range
of items ("for each item in array do smth.") and simple selective access to
items by key of arbitrary type ("select item with ID=anything"). I will need
both, when I think of it, not only full range iteration.

Also, this adaptation of your snippet doesn't work, saying "error:
cell2struct: number of FIELDS does not match dimension":

s = cell2struct(
  {

  "Buffat+Borel 1976 (5)", "Buffat+Borel 1976 (5)", 13, 1337;
  "Lai+Guo+Petrova+ 1996 (2a)", "Lai+Guo+Petrova+ 1996 (2a)", 30, 505

  },
  { "ID", "data", "Xo", "Yo" }, 4
);

s(1)

What am I doing wrong, then?
