Strip all class methods, leaving just the bare data as struct fields

You are now following this Submission

Often one comes across the need to strip a class down to its bare data - in particular in contexts of serializing/deserializing, and working with it across external interfaces.
Matlab's built in struct(cls) doesn't suffice, as the class can have properties that are classes themselves. Hence, this small utility.
Please say if it helps you, and more importantly - if it doesn't.
Doesn't require any fancy new functionality - probably works in 2009+ versions, but I'm unable to test.
