Details:

I’m not sure if this would be considered a bug by the community. The size
function seems to work as described at
https://octave.sourceforge.io/octave/function/size.html, but it does not
accept vector input for DIM as the matlab size function does since R2019b. The
following two lines give the correct output of [2,4] in MATLAB, but Octave
gives “error: size: DIM must be a positive integer”:
A = rand(2,3,4,5);
szdim13 = size(A,[1 3])
