[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42620] exist() does not use "class" argument

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #42620 (project octave):

Octave should return 8 for classdef m-files to be compatible with Matlab.  The
function to edit is symbol_exist in variables.cc.  There are two locations
where "return 2;" is used.  For these two cases Octave needs to further
distinguish between an ordinary file and a classdef file.  Probably that means
querying the symbol table as is done in which().
