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

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #59304 (project octave):

We don't need to probe too deeply into Matlab's own functions.  I just thought
that some simple which/exist/methods/properties calls could tell what type of
object we were looking at.  I really don't know how to tell for sure whether
something is a classdef object or a legacy class object.  Plus, some of these
objects could be implemented internally and just look like classdef or legacy
objects.

In any case, I'll try to write a script with some tests to see if we can at
least get the basics right.

And yes, exist is much more complicated now than it was back in the days when
there were variables, functions in .m files, directories, and plain old files
with no packages, subfunctions, local functions, nested functions, legacy
classes, classdef classes, java objects, etc.
