is horrible bug causing a lot of trouble.
I could see it might be puzzling if you don't know about this
behavior, or let it happen accidentally---but it is also very useful
when used on purpose.
There's no point in complaining about it, though, provided there's a
reliable way to print a warning for (1:2) + (1:2)'.
Having said that, I thought I remembered
warning('on','Octave:broadcast') but it didn't do anything.
warning('on','Octave:language-extension') warns about automatic
broadcast---is that the recommended way? I don't remember what else
it warns about.
