[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53587] Disabling an invalid warning ID should give an error

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #53587 (project octave):

                  Status:               Need Info => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #3:

Agreed, a colon is mandatory in Matlab, and Octave also uses that as one of
the requirements to determine if the first argument is a warning ID or just a
warning string:

libinterp/corefcn/error.cc:1087

      // For compatibility with Matlab, an identifier must contain ':',
      // but not at the beginning or the end, and it must not contain '%'
      // (even if it is not a valid conversion operator) or whitespace.


So that logic might as well be applied to the warning ID passed to warning
on/off/query/error.
