function bool = cmp_type_of_block(block1, block2)
% CMP_TYPE_OF_BLOCK Compares if 2 blocks have the same type. THIS DOES NOT
% REFER SPECIFICALLY TO BLOCK TYPE. This refers to block type as well
% as mask type.
%
% Inputs:
%   block1  Simulink block fullname or handle. May also be a cell
%           array or vector of blocks.
%   block2  Simulink block fullname or handle. May also be a cell
%           array or vector of blocks.
%
% Output:
%   bool    Logical true if input blocks have the same mask and block
%           type. If block1 has length > 1 and block2 has length == 1
%           then bool will have the same length as block1 and will
%           perform the comparison of block2 with each element in
%           block1. Likewise if block2 has length > 1 and block1 has
%           length == 1. If block1 and block2 have length > 1 then they
%           must have the same length and the result will do an
%           element-wise comparison.
