function ret=evalutate_tree(tree,X)
%EVALUATE_TREE    Alternative to using 'eval' in 'regfitness' in GPLAB.
%   EVALUATE_TREE(TREE,X) evaluates a GPLAB tree when the "nesting 32"
%   error is issued by the 'eval' function in the 'regfitness.m' function.
%   It returns the same as 'eval' would. This is only needed in the most
%   recent MATLAB releases.
