I would not want to miss these proprietary features! Octave is not a Matlab replacement, even it might be widely considered as one and many users have discovered Octave while they were looking for a no-cost-substitute for Matlab. Thus I consider it more important to be able to run Matlab code within Octave but not vice versa.

If downward compatibility to Matlab is required, one might request a switch or option to force it within Octave - a modus that can produce warnings when statements are used which are not compatible with Matlab. This would ensure cross-compatibility.

Best regards,
