##
## Return true if @var{code} fails with an error message matching
## @var{pattern}, otherwise produce an error.
##
## @var{code} must be in the form of a string that is passed to the Octave
## interpreter via the @code{evalin} function, i.e., a (quoted) string constant
## or a string variable.
##
## Note that if @var{code} runs successfully, rather than failing, the error
## printed is:
##
## @example
##           expected error <.> but got none
## @end example
##
## If called with two arguments, the return value will be true only if
## @var{code} fails with an error message containing @var{pattern}
## (case sensitive).  If the code fails with a different error than the one
## specified in @var{pattern} then the message produced is:
##
## @example
## @group
##           expected <@var{pattern}>
##           but got <text of actual error>
## @end group
## @end example
##
## The angle brackets are not part of the output.
##
## When called with the @qcode{"warning"} option @code{fail} will produce an
## error if executing the code produces no warning.
## @seealso{assert, error}
