setfield - list field insertion

### Calling Sequence

  `setfield(i,x,l)`

### Parameters

- `x`: matrix of any possible types
- `l`: list, tlist or mlist variable
- `i`: field index, see insertion for more details.

### Description

This function is an equivalent of `l(i)=x` syntax for field extraction with the only difference that it also applies to `mlist` objects.

### Examples

    l=list(1,'qwerw',%s)
    l(1)='Changed'
    l(0)='Added'
    l(6)=['one more';'added']
    //

    a=hypermat([2,2,2],rand(1:2^3));// hypermatrices are coded using mlists
    setfield(3,1:8,a);a // set the field value to 1:8
