AFAIK there are binary Octave equivalents of isnumeric, iscell and ischar
functions that I think would cover already all of the classes / data types
currently supported in the variable editor.

E.g., graphics handles are also numeric (double) so it would do no harm to
open them in the variable editor (for inspection only, that is :-) ).

I've never tried to open classdef or Java or even COM objects in Matlab's
variable editor but later the coming week I could have a look at what
happens then.
