Update of bug #51252 (project octave):
Category: Octave Function => Interpreter
Severity: 3 - Normal => 2 - Minor
Priority: 5 - Normal => 3 - Low
Item Group: Incorrect Result => Matlab Compatibility

Follow-up Comment #1:
Yes, in Octave the colon expression returns a "range" object which is only
implemented in terms of double values (or however the "colon" overload method
of a user-defined class is defined).
If Matlab's colon expression preserves the standard type precedence of built
in types, then some redesign work is needed in Octave to make this
compatible.
OTOH it's very easy to write
int32 (1:10)
instead.
