This thread will be used to indicate the community's requests for
features/bug-fixes for the upcoming Matlab release (R2007b, Sep 1
2007). This is in lieu of an official votable wishlist (see separate
thread on this: Yair Altman, "Proposed Matlab votable wishlist" #, 16 May 2007 11:13 am </WebX?14@@.ef5718f>
# ).

Here are some items I would like to see:
- fix the "clear java" bug (also clears globals as side-effect)
- try-catch should also catch Java exceptions, not just Matlab ones
- add an Excel-like iff function to the basic ML language (equivalent
to C's a?b:c construct) - highly important in anonymous functions
- enable multi-thread use of the Matlab computation engine from
external C++/C#/Java threads
- finally (after who knows how many years) fix the stupid zoom and
similar problems with plotyy

More to follow later - I think this is enough for now to start a
healthy discussion. Please pitch in with your wishlist items.
