    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The following code works in Matlab (e.g. R2019b) but not in Octave (5.2.0):


h = figure
h.Name = 'My title'


I assume that the issue behind this is much broader. Currently Octave does not
generate any "handle", that can be used lateron with this object oriented
syntax.

This information doesn't sound new to me and might well be a duplicate issue,
but I couldn't find any note on this when searching in Savannah bug reports.
