iFit/class2str

   This function creates a string containing Matlab code describing a variable.

   class2str(this,data) 
     Create a string [ 'this = data;' ]
   class2str(this, data, 'no comments') 
     same as above, but removes comments from the output file
   class2str(this, data, 'eval') 
     creates a compact evaluable string of the initial data
   class2str(this, data, 'flat') 
     creates a flat text with commented data blocks, which is not an m-file, 
     but rather a Linux-style config file.

 input arguments:
   this: string containing the name of the object to describe. Use '' to name the 
           root level from the input variable name, and ' ' to ignore root level 
           in structures.
   data: any data set (struct, array, cell, char, objects)
   options: optinal argument which may contain 'flat', 'no comments','eval'

 output variables:
   str: string which contains a function code to generate the data.

 example: 
  data=struct('a',1,'b','a string comment','c',{'cell'});
  str=class2str(data)          % produces a string/script that regenerates data
  str=class2str('this', data)  % idem, but creates 'this' instead of 'data'.
  str=class2str(data, 'flat')  % a kind of config file
  str=class2str(data, 'eval')  % a compact evaluable string
