setfield.rs

//! MATLAB-compatible `setfield` builtin with struct array and object support.
//!
//! Mirrors MATLAB's `setfield` semantics, including nested field creation, struct
//! array indexing via cell arguments, and property assignment on MATLAB-style
//! objects. The builtin performs all updates on host data; GPU-resident values are
//! gathered automatically before mutation. Updated tensors remain on the host.
