%>  \brief
%>  Return a Fortran-namelist-compatible conversion of the input ``varval``.<br>
%>
%>  \details
%>  This functionality is primarily used by the ParaMonte MATLAB internal
%>  routines to communicate information with Fortran shared libraries.<br>
%>  As such, it is of limited to most end users of the library.<br>
%>
%>  \param[in]  varname :   The input scalar MATLAB string containing the label to assign
%>                          to the namelist-converted value in the output ``entry``.<br>
%>                          The specified value of ``varname`` will be trimmed
%>                          (to remove leading and trailing blanks).<br>
%>  \param[in]  varval  :   The input value to be converted to namelist-compatible value.
%>  \param[in]  vartype :   See the documentation of the corresponding
%>                          argument of [pm.introspection.istype()](@ref istype).
%>  \param[in]  varsize :   See the documentation of the corresponding
%>                          argument of [pm.introspection.istype()](@ref istype).
%>
%>  \return
%>  ``entry``           :   The output scalar MATLAB string containing the namelist-compatible
%>                          conversion of the input value ``varval`` and the given ``varname``
%>                          in the following format: ``varname=namelist-compatible-varval``.

%>      entry = pm.introspection.getEntryNML(varname, varval, vartype, varsize)
%>

%>
%>  \note
%>  If the input value is string, it will be quoted properly.<br>
%>  If the input ``varval`` is an array, its elements will be comma-separated.<br>
