% DESCRIPTION: COLLECT_VALUES convert numeric values in to AOs.
%
% This provides additional functionality to the collect_objects method.
% This method collects any single valued numerical data from the input
% arguments (args), and converts them to cdata AOs.
%
% Typicall usage in a class method would be:
%
% args = utils.helper.collect_values(varargin(:));
% [as, ao_invars] = utils.helper.collect_objects(args, 'ao', in_names);
