Details:

This is valid in Matlab 2011b, but not in Octave:

octave:1> [0
> ,1]
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> ,1]
    ^

Matlab output:

>> [0
,1]

ans =

     0
     1

>> [0, 1
, 2, 3]

ans =

     0     1
     2     3

If the line break happens after the comma, Octave is fine with it:

octave.exe:9> [1,
> 0]
ans =

   1
   0
