[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63281] bsxfun fails to preserve sparse output for some functions

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #63281 (project octave):

It's not really broadcasting if one argument is a scalar.  Or at least it is
handled differently, and has always been a feature of Octave and Matlab to
allow matrix OP scalar or scalar OP matrix.

If the dimensions agree exactly, then it is just an ordinary
element-by-element operation.

The special broadcasting code is only invoked if there is a dimension mismatch
and the dimensions are such that broadcasting makes sense.
