If you just want a simple compiler front end that generates code that
uses octave_value objects and does all the dispatching at run-time, it
would not be too hard.  But it wouldn't speed things up much either.
If you want to do this kind of thing and speed things up, you have to
infer specific data types types from the code and that is hard.
