      start     is the ID of the first vertex to be fetched from the
                segment designated by `handle' and `dladsc'. The ID
                of a vertex is its ordinal position within the
                segment. Vertex IDs range from 1 to NV, where NV is
                the number of vertices in the segment.

                [1,1] = size(start); int32 = class(start)
