Get function argument name and type

Hi,
With the new addition of function argument validation [Link] using the arguments keyword, is there a (preferably built-in) way to retrieve the argument names and types?
So say you have a function
function MyFunc(a, b)
arguments
a uint32 {mustBeInRange(a,0,5)} = 2;
b string = "Default String";
end
...
>> arginfo('MyFunc')
I'd expect it to return a struct array like this:
ans =
1x2 struct array with fields:
name
size
type
validator
default
size of which corresponds to each argument in the function, in order
>> ans(1)
ans =
struct with fields:
name: 'a'
size [] % ?
type: 'uint32'
validator @()mustBeInRange(a,0,5) % ?
default: 2;
This is of course possible to do when you have access to the source file. Just read the file and parse the code between arguments. But what if you compile it using mcc? Then there's no way to retrieve the source code.
I am not sure how to handle repeating and named arguments.

This would be a nice function to have. Use case: I am making a GUI which basically creates user input based on the function inputs. Bool -> uicheckbox. String -> uieditfield. double -> numeric uieditfield. Filepath (string with validator mustBeFolder) -> custom component containing uieditfield and a browse button.
Kind regards

That would be a very useful function indeed! If anyone has a solution, it'd be great!

See the article "Function Argument Validation" in the MATLAB help. MATLAB will silently convert for you if possible, so you may not want to try to improve on that. My impression is that this new feature makes MATLAB functions a little bit more explicitly typed like other programming languages, because otherwise the function argument list does not include any type information andn the default type was double.
