Re: could matlab-mode be in ELPA or the GNU emacs tree (like auctex and org-mode)?

But Emacs does not work better under Windows (or macOS) than under GNU/Linux.
E.g. we explicitly disabled support for colored fonts on macOS until we
had support for that under GNU/Linux.

So a comparable situation would be for a mode that works both with
Matlab and Octave but doesn't provide any feature which only works
with Matlab.
