[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #9997] [octave forge](mapping) areaquad

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #1, patch #9997 (project octave):

Thanks, looking into it.

I noted a few issues, a.o.:
* the usual Matlab bug of accepting latitudes outside the [-90..90] degrees
interval (or [-pi/2 .. pi/2] radians);
* areaquad accepts 'lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2, "wgs84", "km"' and returns a
nonsense answer as "km" is recognized as "radians";

... and maybe I find more.
All little stuff and nitty-gritty :-)

As to the last issue, I wonder if a 6th or 7th arg could be accepted as
'lengthunit'. Maybe simply feeding it to validateLengthUnit in a try-catch or
so, I'll look into it. No taboo on doing more than Matlab.
