Is the following proper behavior of cell assignments?  (2.1.64)

octave:124> C = cell(2,1)
C =

{
  [1,1] = [](0x0)
  [2,1] = [](0x0)
}

octave:125> C(2) = []
C =

{
  [1,1] = [](0x0)
}

It could be interpretted two ways, but my intuition would be that C 
should remain just as it already is.

I have an iterative search that some times comes up empty.  (I realize 
it is possible to fix this with a conditional "isempty".)
