Details:

Bug #45739 has brought to light the fact that some
functions which are expected to return a result of
the same type as the input that is to be processed
fail to do this in the case that the input is type 
'range'.

At the base of this is: flip. For example:
>> r = 1:2:7
r =

   1   3   5   7

>> a= flip(r,2)
a =

   7   5   3   1

>> typeinfo(a)
ans = matrix
>> 

This affects at least: fliplr, flipud, rot90, rotdim.
permute is also invoked in these functions.
