[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42181] slash operator on underdetermined system gives "minimum norm solution" instead of "basic solution"

[Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #42181 (project octave):

Well, first of all, even though I would hate doing it, my question is sincere:
do we really have to mimic Matlab behaviour here? I can't think of a case
where it's better than Octave's output. What was your case?

Mind you, we have had people who want Octave to be wasteful with memory (e.g.
no special memory-saving diagonal matrix type) just because Matlab also wastes
memory in a particular instance. So it could be that even if Matlab does
something stupid, we have to mimic it exactly in Octave.
