[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59304] exist() does not find a class inside @class directory

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #59304 (project octave):

Interesting, I would have said ftp.m is on the path.  Maybe we could get
someone with Matlab access to test what exist returns for an old-style class. 
Alternatively, we could ignore it as old-stlye classes are legacy code these
days so there isn't much point in spending a lot of time on the subject.

I also think testing with Matlab would be required to untangle how classdef
versus regular functions are handled.  I would be surprised if subfunctions or
nested functions are returned by either exist or which.

Are files in private workspaces on the path?  In Octave, the scripts directory
is on the path and that directory contains +containers.  Inside +containers is
the file Map.m.  I can create a Map object with 


x = containers.Map


But I can't find it with exist


exist Map
ans = 0
exist +containers/Map
ans = 0
