I applied the patch to the release-3-2-x repository.
I noticed that a few methods (subsasgn, subsref) still didn't work or
worked differently than mentioned in the docs.
In particular, I updated subsasgn and subsref to handle the full index
chain, i.e. stuff like
a.poly(1:2) = [3,4]
will work correctly.
I added a notice about this to the docs. I also changed the {}
semantics so that a{i} means the coefficient of x^i, as the
documentation says. a(i) = x gripes (makes no sense).
There's still room for more error checks and improvements (such as
stripping leading zeros after assignments), but I hope the examples
need not be perfect.

cheers
