MAKEDIR make directory and check for success

malformed paths can be "created" but are not accessible. This function works around that bug in Matlab mkdir().

function makedir(direc)

arguments
  direc string
end

to avoid confusing making ./~/mydir

for i = numel(direc)
  direc(i) = stdlib.expanduser(direc(i));
end

i = ~stdlib.strempty(direc) & ~isfolder(direc);

for d = direc(i)
  [~] = mkdir(d);
end

ok = isfolder(direc(i));

if nargout == 0
  assert(all(ok), "Failed to create directories: %s", strjoin(direc(~ok), ", "));
end

end
