[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #32700] nargout(fn) Matlab compatibility

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #32700 (project octave):

Thanks for submitting a diff.

Before it can be applied, it should include a ChangeLog entry for the
changes.

It would also be helpful if you created a proper changeset using "hg export"
so that we don't have to add your name and patch description for you.

Also, please use C++ style comments in Octave code rather than C style
comments.

There are some guidelines for contributors here:

There is currently no way to get the number of output arguments from a builtin
function.  To do that would require adding more arguments to the DEFUN macro. 
Before making a change like that, I think it would be good to discuss it on
the maintainers mailing list.
