[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61898] subsref: Error when field syntax is used on non-scalar @class object

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #61898 (project octave):

In general Octave tries to be compatible with Matlab.  Hence, the long term
direction is clear and Octave will change its behavior in the future to
disallow this usage.

So now the question is simply timing.  Do we make this change now, between
major versions 6 and 7, or do we announce that the change is coming and make
it between versions 7 and 8?  I don't think there is much reason to wait and
would propose that we make the change now (which amounts to not doing
anything).

Pantxo has already pointed out how to modify the subsref.m file in the
interval package to get this to work so this only requires that a new release
of the interval package occur at the same time as Octave 7.
