Neither previous CELL2NUM or CELL2MAT can deal with cells and matrices of arbitrary dimensions. Hence my submission.

This function convert a multidimensional cell INPUT composed of multidimensional matrices to a matrix OUTPUT. The only requirement is that all the matrices have the same dimensions.

Given N = size(INPUT) and K = size(INPUT{1}) the size of OUTPUT will be [N x K].

Example 1:
N => [2 3]
K => [4 3]
OUTPUT => [2 3 4 3]

Moreover it is possible to set parameters in order to eliminate eventual singleton dimensions or convert either N or K to equivalent vectors.

Example 2:
N => [1 3]
K => [4 1 2]
OUTPUT => [3 4 2]

Example 3:
(changing parameters)
N => [2 3]
K => [4 3]
OUTPUT => [6 4 3]

Example 4:
(using parameters)
N => [2 3]
K => [4 3]
OUTPUT => [2 3 12]

Example 5:
(using parameters)
N => [2 3]
K => [4 3]
OUTPUT => [6 12]
