Polymorphism. This is the essence of OOP, and often not emphasised enough.

As kensmith suggests, the "this" pointer in C++ is one way to get
polymorphism working. I can't follow the discussion exactly, but if
indeed Octave has something like C++'s "this" pointer, then we may be
well on the route to having OOP in Octave.

Of course, having Matlab-compatible OOP is probably still quite a
different matter.
