'length' extension for multiple input arguments? |

Hi All
If I have a cell array, and I want to know the length of all elements of
this array, it seems I, essentially, have to do something like
for k = 1:length (cell_array)
lengths (k) = length (cell_array {k});
endfor
Would an extension to the 'length' function be acceptable that allowed
for multiple input arguments? This would simply implement the above loop
and return a vector of integers instead of just an integer. So,
length ("hello", 7)
would return [5, 1]. Such an extension would allow me to write
lengths = length (cell_array {:});
which I think is quite easy to read. Anyway, would such a change be
acceptable?
