    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The documentation for size only lists the function-like usage "size (foo)" or
"size (foo, dim)" with optional output arguments. But the following
command-like syntax turns out not to give an error on Octave 7.0.0:


octave:1> size 12345
ans =
   1   5

octave:2> size abcdef
ans =
   1   6


Reporting this as a missed error or warning in case this behavior was not
intended.
