 * An array header contains all the same information as an
 * array, except that the pr, pi, ir, and jc data structures are 
 * not allocated for non-recursive data types.  That is,
 * Cells, structures, and objects contain pointers to other
 * array headers, but numeric, string, and sparse arrays do not 
 * contain valid data in their pr, pi, ir, or jc fields.
 *
 * The purpose of an array header is to gain fast access to 
 * information about an array without reading all the array's
 * actual data.  Thus, functions such as mxGetM, mxGetN, and mxGetClassID
 * can be used with array headers, but mxGetPr, mxGetPi, mxGetIr, mxGetJc,
 * mxSetPr, mxSetPi, mxSetIr, and mxSetJc cannot.
 *
 * An array header should NEVER be returned to MATLAB (for example via the
 * MEX API), or any other non-matrix access API function that expects a
 * full mxArray (examples include engPutVariable(), matPutVariable(), and 
 * mexPutVariable()).

 * Return NULL if an error occurs.
