In octave-2.1.52 debian and octave-cvs-2003-12-15, typeinfo for
structure array slices is confused:

octave:1> t(3).a = 1;
octave:2> typeinfo(t.a)

*** typeinfo:

 - Built-in Function:  typeinfo (EXPR)
     Return the type of the expression EXPR, as a string.  If EXPR  is
     omitted, return an array of strings containing all the currently
     installed data types.


octave:3> t.a
ans =

(,
  [1] = [](0x0)
  [2] = [](0x0)
  [3] = 1
,)
