Details:

There is a small inconsistency with the disp() routine and the built-in cell
array type.  It always prints a newline before the cell array, unlike a
regular array.

See the Octave session captured below:


octave:1> x = {1;2;3}
x = 
{
  [1,1] =  1
  [2,1] =  2
  [3,1] =  3
}
octave:2> disp (x)

{
  [1,1] =  1
  [2,1] =  2
  [3,1] =  3
}
octave:3> y = [1;2;3]
y =

   1
   2
   3

octave:4> disp (y)
   1
   2
   3
octave:5>
