Details:

Sometime between R2015 and R2018b, Matlab starting printing strings and char
arrays with quotes:

>> c = 'hello'

c =

    'hello'

>> s = "hello"

s = 

    "hello"

>> disp(c)
hello
>> disp(s)
hello


Note "disp" still behaves the same.  I think I like this change.  Should we do
it as well?
