I discovered the numel command today.  After discovering this, I updated 
the seealsos on several functions (attached).  After discovering this, I 
thought that replacing any "prod(size(...))" constructs with numel(...) 
would make more sense and be faster.

I found them in the scripts in

general/sub2ind.m
set/ismember.m
set/unique.m
strings/dec2base.m
testfun/assert.m

Would a patch changing these to numel be accepted?

 	* data.cc: update seealsos to show numel
