[John W. Eaton]

Update of bug #51698 (project octave):

                 Summary: Nested function fails to inherit a variable =>
Nested function fails to inherit a variable created with assignin

Follow-up Comment #3:

I'm not sure we should attempt to support assignin uses that add variables to
nested function scopes.  From the following documentation, it seems that this
is explicitly disallowed in Matlab:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/variables-in-nested-and-anonymous-functions.html?s_tid=gn_loc_drop

The reason it works when you add the "disp (K)" in the testmy function is that
then the variable name is present in the symbol table when the function is
parsed, not just added later when the function is executed.
