[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44745] single quoted string in sprintf is interpreted

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #44745 (project octave):

Coming from a UNIX shell programming environment I hate this as well.  Matlab,
however, only has the single quote character for all strings.  So for Matlab
compatability, Octave expands escape sequences like "\n" or "\t"--even within
single quotes--if the function is sprintf, printf, regexp, regexprep, and
probably scanf too.

Can you suggest a documentation change that would be clear about this?
