Follow-up Comment #16:

The patch from comment #15 still applies on the current default branch and
compiles successfully.
However, it doesn't seem to work for complex single "like" input:

>> a = ones (1, 1, "like", single (1i))
a = 1
>> whos ("a")
Variables visible from the current scope:

variables in scope: top scope

   Attr Name        Size                     Bytes  Class
   ==== ====        ====                     =====  =====
        a           1x1                          8  double

Total is 1 element using 8 bytes


The returned value is double when it should be single.

I hope the attached patch fixes that.

I'm not sure if it is worth leaving the "iscomplex" logic in since Octave
seems to happily eat the imaginary part of complex numbers whenever it can
anyway.

Documentation changes are still missing. I would be happy if you could take
that on, Guillaume.
