I have a few more questions about indexing

1. When M(idx,:) is specified, what is the idx_vector set to
   for the ':' ?

2. What methods does [ M1, M2 ] map to internally?

Also, while putting together a test script for the sparse 
functions I use exist('__OCTAVE_VERSION__') to destinguish
octave from Matlab. This no longer works in 2.1.19

   octave-2.1.19:1> __OCTAVE_VERSION__ 
   __OCTAVE_VERSION__ = 2.1.19
   octave-2.1.19:2> exist('__OCTAVE_VERSION__')
   ans = 0
   
However,   
   octave-2.0.14:1> __OCTAVE_VERSION__
   __OCTAVE_VERSION__ = 2.0.14
   octave-2.0.14:2> exist('__OCTAVE_VERSION__')
   ans = 1
