Details:
The functions for creating matrices, such as ones(), accept a final string
argument to set the class of the returned matrix to something other than the
default "double". For example:
sing_ones = ones (3,2,"single");
It would be useful if the functions which generate random matrices (rand,
randn, rande, randp, randg) would follow the same syntax. Matlab already does
this (http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/ref/randn.html).
This feature would have been handy during my rewrite of the statistical
distribution functions. Instead I had to create the desired matrix and then
explicitly cast it to class "single".
