6 Data Containers
*****************

Octave includes support for three different mechanisms to contain
arbitrary data types in the same variable: Structures, which are C-like,
and are indexed with named fields; containers.Map objects, which store
data in key/value pairs; and cell arrays, where each element of the
array can have a different data type and or shape.  Multiple input
arguments and return values of functions are organized as another data
container, the comma separated list.
