This needs an implementation of the "cellfun" function so that the code 
in unique.m and ismember.m for empty cell arrays can be replaced. Then 
the only other change is that code
like

  match = [ y(1:n-1) == y(2:n) ];

becomes

   if (iscell(y))
      match = [char(y(1:n-1) == char(y(2:n))];
   else
      match = [ y(1:n-1) == y(2:n) ];
   endif

I know that a colleague of my has cellfun written (along with cell2mat, 
and perhaps some other stuff). I'll hassle him again to commit it to the 
CVS so this might be implemented...

David
