Subject: [PATCH 08/21] symfun: implement (poorly?) cast to sym

I'm not sure how to do this properly, but symfun should support
casting to sym.  Make "formula" use this new casting.

Subject: [PATCH 09/21] symfun: use "formula" instead of broken cast to sym

I'm not even sure this cast was correct for old-style class but
its certainly not for classdef.  Anyway, "formula" is semantically
correct in these cases.

Subject: [PATCH 14/21] avoid assuming sym(cell) gives cell for varargin
 processing

We commonly ensure inputs are sym.  In many cases, this was done using
"varargin = sym(varargin)".  Use a loop instead so that sym(cell) need
not return a cell.
