Follow-up Comment #6:
Regarding this item, I think the approach from bug #51599 is preferable, and
this one to abandon:
1. It has limited use and works against the idea of OOP, to refer to a
specific class method from OUTSIDE that class (comment #4), instead of Octave
to find the appropriate `roots` method for the argument given.
2. It encourages "bad" programming style, with lots of references to keep
consistent.
3. That it worked with Octave 4.0.3 seems to be more "accidental" than
expected (this behavior is not documented).
4. It is not compatible with Matlab.
If you agree, we can stick with bug #51599 and close this item. Otherwise, I
leave it open and you can discuss it on the mailing list.
