[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56809] Dots in script file names should be allowed

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #56809 (project octave):

I think I've made my point. In response to your latest,

> the concept of script files is recognized at an unnecessarily deep level in
the present implementation

I don't think that's accurate. A script file is recognized at the evaluator
level, after a parse tree has already been built from the input text.

I think that invalidates your last point, that a script name is known early
enough that a decision could be made to parse the complete input line
according to two different sets of rules.
