Knowing nothing about MATLAB, I'd naively expect that there should still
be a general approach for dealing with that problem: emulation. Create a
library of MATLAB functions and procedures (or whatever MATLAB feature
is a good substitute for a function or procedure) that emulate the
capabilities of IDL's built-ins.
