How to extract x and y position of contour line?

In old matlab versions, I could extract x and y points along a contour line as shown below. This is incredibly useful in my work. Now in R2015 the approach doesn't work (hh.XData and hh.YData are the x and y values of the data you're contouring, rather than the x,y position of the contour line). In more recent versions of contour, how can I extract x,y points along a contour line? If I can't do it via contour, is there another way?
z = peaks; % Load in a dataset that all matlab users have
x = 1:size(peaks, 2); y = 1:size(peaks, 1);
figure;
pcolor(x, y, z); % Plot the data
shading flat;
hold on;
[cc, hh] = contour('v6', x, y, z, [0 10^5], 'k'); % Overlay contour line (will plot 3 continuous contours)
xPointsOfContour = get(hh(1), 'xdata'); % Get points along the first contour
yPointsOfContour = get(hh(1), 'ydata');
plot(xPointsOfContour, yPointsOfContour, 'w.'); % Demo that points on contour line were extracted

Also see
[cm, h] = contour(. . .);
contourTable = getContourLineCoordinates(cm);
% --or--
contourTable = getContourLineCoordinates(h);
% contourTable =
% Level Group X Y
% ________ _____ __________ __________
% -5.8504 1 -0.040982 -1.625
% -5.8504 1 -0.027916 -1.75
% -5.8504 1 0 -1.7823
% -5.8504 1 0.045032 -1.5
% etc....

Plot a single contour, then plot(hh.ContourMatrix(1,2:end),hh.ContourMatrix(2,2:end))

hi john,
with your answer you explained something very important using contour. I struggled and lost a lot of time, while i was trying to find intersections of two contour lines.
Plotting both contour matrix as lines and execute
[x,y,~,~]=intersection(contour1(1,:),contour1(2,:),contour2(1,:),contour2(2,:),true)
(btw thanks a lot to Douglas Schwarz) the intersection script found 6 intersections (4 wrong ones). Plotting both contour lines with markers i saw these other data points the first time.
The first column of the contour matrix M contains the value of the contour line and does not belong to the xy data points. With Johns little but important hint using
[x,y,~,~]=intersection(contour1(1,2:end),contour1(2,2:end),contour2(1,2:end),contour2(2,2:end),true)
the problem was solved and i got my two correct intersections.

The first column of the contour matrix M denotes what contour level and how many vertices are included in that particular line; similar columns are found throughout the M matrix between the coordinates for each line. It's in the matlab documentation here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/contour.html#mw_6bc1813f-47cf-4c44-a454-f937ea210ab6
