I've had the following parsing problem. I get the same
error in octave 2.0.9 and 2.1.2.
if you try to define a vector
octave:69> a=b=c=d=1;
octave:70> [a b (c+d)]
error: invalid vector index = 2
error: evaluating index expression near line 70, column 5
If you bracket the b the answer is wrong
octave:70> [a (b) (c+d)]
ans = 1 2
You need to give everything brackets
octave:71> [(a) (b) (c+d)]
ans =
1 1 2
I realize that the right_thing_to_do (tm) is use commas to
separate elements, but I think this behaviour is a bug.
PS. In matlab you get
>> [a b (c+d)]
ans = 1 1 2

Unfortunately, the facts pay no attention to what we can imagine.
