[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #29447] Cannot create @handles to non-existing functions

[Judd Storrs]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #29447 (project octave):

It seems to me that it should be possible for octave to create and return the
lambda automatically instead of requiring the m-files to be rewritten? I'll
look into this. This is not a show stopper for me at the moment and I'll
muddle with this.

The particular example was provided to demonstrate that this feature is "used
in the wild" by a team of very experienced Matlab coders. niftimatlib is a
small data i/o portion of the much larger GPL-licensed SPM
http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/ -- one of the premier packages for
neuroimaging analysis and very heavily Matlab-based. SPM makes heavy use of
the object type system. Anyway, very little of SPM actually works in octave at
this point and I view niftimatlib as widely used pre-extracted fragment that
can help chip away at some of the incompatibilities and discrepancies between
the interpreters.
