How can I return multiple output arguments from the INLINE function?

I am using the INLINE function and I see that there is no way to get multiple outputs from the INLINE function. An example of this would be as follows:

[a, b] = meshgrid(1, 1)

returns

 a =

      1

 b =

      1

If I now inline this function as follows:

f = inline('meshgrid(x, y)')

I obtain

 f =

      Inline function:

      f(x,y) = meshgrid(x, y)

Typing

[a, b] = f(1, 1)

results in the following error:

 ??? Error using ==> inline.subsref

 Too many output arguments.

The ability to obtain multiple output arguments with the INLINE function is not available in MATLAB.

To work around this issue, use function handles as follows:

f = @meshgrid;

[a, b] = f(1, 1);
