    _______________________________________________________

Details:

This behavior was found while testing something in bug #60920:


octave:1> foo = 0
foo = 0
octave:2> foo ++
error: foo used as variable and later as function
octave:3> foo++
ans = 0
octave:4> foo
foo = 1
octave:5> ++ foo
ans = 2



Apparently inserting a space after a variable when calling a postfix increment
or decrement operator now causes a variable/function parse error.
