Do you really think this is true? What class of problems is included
in "most"?
I think statements like this (which I think is just a longer way of
saying "clone" while avoiding that word) leads people to believe that
Octave is 100% compatible when it is not, and when there are many
Matlab features that simply do not work with any version of Octave.
