Enhancement of the built-in function ISLETTER

is=isletter2(str,opt)
function is=isletter2(str,opt)

% ISLETTER2 Check capital/small/non letters of a character array
%   For a string STR, ISLETTER2(STR) returns a vector with 1 for 
%   capital letters, -1 for small letters and 0 otherwise.
% 
%   ISLETTER2(STR,'all') returns 1 if all components of STR are letters. 
% 
%   ISLETTER2(STR,'any') returns 1 if any component of STR is a letter.
% 
%   Example:
%
%       str='Matlab R12.1';
% 
%       is_isletter=isletter(str);
%       is_isletter2=isletter2(str);
%       is_isletter2_all=isletter2(str,'all');
%       is_isletter2_any=isletter2(str,'any');
% 
%       is_isletter =
%            1  1  1  1  1  1  0  1  0  0  0  0
% 
%       is_isletter2 =
%            1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1  0  1  0  0  0  0
% 
%       is_isletter2_all =
%            0
% 
%       is_isletter2_any =
%            1
