[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59304] exist() does not find a class inside @class directory

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #59304 (project octave):

Thank you Ray for testing.

The exist function has a really complicated hierarchy for which value it
returns when something matches multiple categories.  In this case, it would
appear that higher number return values are prioritized over lower ones.  So a
return value of 2 which indicates NAME is a file takes precedence over a
return value of 8 which indicates NAME is a class.  Only when you specify that
you want to restrict testing to a specific type ("class") does it ignore the
file return code and return 8.
