Probably I a misunderstanding something here.  But I thought 
the idea of repmat was that it used a single copy of the 
data to represent multiple copies in a matrix, and all these 
functions seem ultimately to use multiple copies of the 
data.  If that is right, then a repmat should be a
subclass of matrix. I think ...
