[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49759] Inconsistent concatenation with cat, horzcat, vertcat, and []

[Amro]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #49759 (project octave):

Thank you for finding those previous reports.

It's actually interesting because none of the examples in those threads apply
anymore in the latest Octave 4.2.0, as the behavior of concatenating using
square-brackets is now consistent with that of MATLAB.

I don't know if this was fixed on purpose or simply a happy accident! Either
way the issue that remains here is that cat/horzcat/vertcat in Octave are
giving different results than the equivalent []-concatenation.

Regardless of whether this concat behavior is considered an undocumented
MATLAB feature/bug or not, Octave should at least be consistent with itself no
matter how concatenation is performed. So I think that the functions
cat/horzcat/vertcat should be fixed to be conformant with [].
