Details:

Hi,

Suppose we have two classes "foo" and "bar".

"foo" uses old-style classes, while "bar" uses classdef.

>From the body of a method of "foo", calling a method of "bar" using the
dot-syntax (i.e. bar.method()) triggers a weird error. However the functional
syntax (method(bar)) works.

Note that MATLAB accepts both syntaxes in this context.

I attach a code example that demonstrates the problem.
