Can you explain in simple words what is so important about matlab-mode
that we'd like to have it in ELPA? Is it syntax support, or is it the
fact that you can invoke the REPL of the Matlab interpreter from
Emacs, or is it something else?
I'm asking because I never understood why people who use Matlab would
like to use Emacs in conjunction with Matlab, since the Matlab
interactive mode provides so many features that are practically
necessary for any reasonable use of Matlab. So what can Emacs
possibly add to that?
