Ahh, right... I forgot that it is really a vector (_list affix is a bit
misleading -- it's a vector cause you wanted random access I guess) but
still the original point holds, I mean there's no need at all for all
those octave_value_list(double) and others since appropriate
constructors are already present in octave_value (they are even
"harmful" since they introduce ambiguities as in this example with
append).

At first I had problem to understand what this means (sorry for my
english):
- you would love me to send you patches
- you would love to send me patches
and had to check that this is the first possibility (in american way) :))

I'm willing to give something from myself to the octave community cause
I think it is really nice piece of work but this will have to wait until
"the things" around me will settle down -- I just made my PhD and have
to decide what to do next :) (do you want to hire me? :)))

						Best regards

PS. And merry Christmas cause I'm off for couple of days
