[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44940] Empty class indexing should result in copy of object rather than error

[Carnë Draug]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #44940 (project octave):

The proposed fix works for me too, and doesn't cause any of the tests to fail.
Unfortunately we don't have that much stuff in core with tests that uses
classdef to pick up any problem.

I wrote a simple test for this (attached). It modifies properties on the copy
to check that indeed we get the same object.

Doing this, I noticed that there's no way to check that two variables actually
hold the same object (I couldn't find anything on Matlab documentation
either). isequal will compare the values of the object properties so it's not
good for this.
