qcml Question: norm(x, p)?

Thanks for a brilliant package. I see that CVX (matlab) supports p-norms for values of p>=1 other than 1, 2, \infty. I'm wondering if there are any plans to support that in QCML?

I don't have any plans to do this yet; is there a specific kind of norm you wanted to use?

Thanks. I don't have any real requirement for other p-norms at the moment, I'm really just trying to compare CVX and QCML to use for future projects.

I dug into CVX a bit just now and I see that for p different from 1, 2, \infty it converts a p-norm into a semidefinite cone, thus generating an SDP not an SOCP. So it seems that wouldn't fit into QCML unless it expands from generating SOCP to generating SDP. (Or unless it uses an alternative transformation that produces an SOCP...)
