## @deftypefn {Function File} {} celldisp (@var{c}, @var{name})
## Recursively display the contents of a cell array.  By default the values
## are displayed with the name of the variable @var{c}.  However, this name
## can be replaced with the variable @var{name}.  For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## c = @{1, 2, @{31, 32@}@};
## celldisp(c, "b")
##      @result{}
##         b@{1@} =
##          1
##         b@{2@} =
##          2
##         b@{3@}@{1@} =
##          31
##         b@{3@}@{2@} =
##          32
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @seealso{disp}
## @end deftypefn

## This is ugly, but seems to be what matlab does..
