[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63841] nargout is always 0 or 1 for subsref() in classdef methods

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #28, bug #63841 (project octave):

I believe negative nargout are used in Matlab to indicate that a function uses
`varargout`:
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/nargout.html
> nargout(fun) returns the number of outputs that appear in the fun function
definition. If the function includes varargout in its definition, then nargout
returns the negative of the number of outputs. For example, if function myFun
declares outputs y, z, and varargout, then nargout('myFun') returns -3.

Does that conflict with that usage?
