## Check write and read of character strings in MAT5 format:
## 1) without compression
## 2) with compression
##

##
## Note:
## If the character vector contains elements of differents lengths i.e.
## a2_in <- list(c("a", "bb"), c("c", "dd"))                            # nolint
## then the expected result is not identical, since each element
## is saved in a cell and the expected result of a2_in is therefore
## a2_exp <- list("a", "bb")                                            # nolint
