[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #9980] JSON encoder and decoder, alternative to object2json

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #16, patch #9980 (project octave):

Update 'toJSON' and 'fromJSON' have been uploaded.  

There were couple of other minor fixes needed for Octave 7 that produced no
change in behavior, except one...

Octave 7 has changed its behavior regarding 'str2func'.  It is not as strict
as in v5.2.  As a result, in v5.2, "fromJSON('@nofunc')" will return a string
or function '@nofunc' depending on existence of 'nofunc' as a function; while
in v7, "fromJSON" will *always* return a function '@nofunc', whether it is
valid or not.

This is an edge-case scenario, in that transmitting functions over JSON is
unusual in itself.  As such, to resolve this issue, I've simply removed the
BIST test specifically for non-existing functions.  

Also, please note, the HELP doc remains broken with regards to layout.  I'm
relying on some help on this issue.
