Sample code


x = magic (3);
mean (x, [2,7])
error: permute: permutation vector contains an invalid element
error: called from
    mean at line 198 column 13


Matlab has no issues with this input.

Of note, large dimensions work when the DIM input is just a scalar (such as 7 in the example above).

There are two obvious strategies to solve this:
1) Do more input validation and issue an error if the dimension is outside the number of dimensions of the input.
2) Change the algorithm to return the Matlab-compatible answer for these sorts of inputs
