[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60882] error parsing command syntax

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #60882 (project octave):

I believe that is the way that Matlab parses this syntax because it doesn't
have "++" or "--" operators.  When I made the previous change, I made the
"OP=" operators special so that they are not recognized as command-style
syntax arguments but I missed others.

I believe Matlab command-style parsing depends on whitespace.  For example,
"foo - var" (expression) vs. "foo -var" (command), correct?  And the behavior
may be different at the command line vs. in a function or script.

So I'm not sure what the best solution is for providing a reasonable degree of
compatibility vs. Octave extensions to the Matlab language.
