[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41032] Command function parsing: does handle certain patterns involving commas as parentheses

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #41032 (project octave):

Octave splits commands on whitespace.  I wasn't aware of the (strange, IMO)
rules involving parens.  Can you precisely state what the rules are?

If you want to experiment with different rules for splitting tokens in
commands, the place to look is libinterp/parse-tree/lex.ll.  Looking now, I
noticed that COMMAND_START is not an exclusive start state, though perhaps it
should be.

Can commands be continued across lines?  If so, in what contexts?
