I am not sure about our current understanding whether Matlab might have a
bug or octave by not following its conventions... at least I am currently
looking through some wired code that depends on this behaviour ("feature"?)
of the other brand, and so I want to bring this issue to your attention
again: Should we adopt to Matlabs behaviour or not?
