sparse(i, j, v) for N-dim input

How about making
  S = sparse (I, J, SV, M, N, NZMAX)
work for multi dimensional I, J and SV ?

The workaround sparse(I(:), J(:), SV(:)) is easy, but I would like
sparse() to check that the dimensions of I, J, and SV were the same
and then create the sparse matrix also for 3+-dimensional input
matrices.

I can implement the change, I just want to hear if it is a bad idea
before I start coding.
