[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55667] Conflict between package namespace and function name

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #55667 (project octave):

Mike: I don't want to remove this functionality.  Right now, I'm just trying
to understand whether Octave's current behavior causes compatibility issues.

Am I remembering correctly that Matlab does not allow a function foo that
returns a struct to be indexed as


foo.bar


?

In any case, what does Matlab do if you have a function foo and ask


which foo.bar


And what does it do if you have a function bar.m in a package directory named
+foo and you ask


which foo.bar.baz


?  I'm guessing both fail?
