%SYMEXPR2SLBLOCK Create symbolic embedded MATLAB Function block
%
% symexpr2slblock(VARARGIN) creates an Embedded MATLAB Function block 
% from a symbolic expression. The input arguments are just as used with 
% the functions emlBlock or matlabFunctionBlock.
%
% Notes::
% - In Symbolic Toolbox versions prior to V5.7 (2011b) the function to 
%   create Embedded Matlab Function blocks from symbolic expressions is 
%   'emlBlock'.
% - Since V5.7 (2011b) there is another function named 
%   'matlabFunctionBlock' which replaces the old function. 
% - symexpr2slblock is a wrapper around both functions, which 
%   checks for the installed Symbolic Toolbox version and calls the 
%   required function accordingly.
