[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56187] Support local functions at end of scripts like Matlab

[Andrew Janke]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #56187 (project octave):

I see a possible conflict in the future, but this is purely speculative on my
part: Because Matlab supports nested functions and local functions, but does
not support command-line functions (and their paradigm really isn't to do
that), I would bet that if Matlab were to add support for functions in the
middle of script files in the future, they would be treated as nested
functions local to the script, instead of global command-line functions. At
which point Octave's support for command-line functions in scripts would be
incompatible with it.

This is purely hypothetical, though.
