Builtin `type` can be used for .mlapp -> .m conversion on new MATLAB about mlapp2classdef HOT 6 CLOSED

The App Designer tech preview was released in October 2014, so I was thinking R2014b or R2014a would have been the earliest they'd start incorporating support. I'll set the flag to R2014b for now.

Interesting, good find!

I just tested that using diary to pipe the output to an *.m file functions correctly, but it adds leading and trailing diary commands that need to be removed. It can also be piped to a string with evalc and written to a file with fprintf, which may be the most time expedient option.

I'll add in a check for versions >= R2016a to utilize one of these options to avoid the overhead of unzipping.

type works on *.mlapp files in R2015b as well, I don't have any other old versions to test with.

Just tested on 2015a - works.

@AnderBiguri tested this on 2014b and it still works. @adeak tested it on 2012b and it doesn't.

Should be in now but the regular expressions will need to be compared between versions. The "old" MATLAB handling reads every line of the XML file into its own cell but the type approach reads everything into a single character array.
