Hello,
In Matlab, the default behavior for commands without parentheses is to
pass the argument as a string, like:
help ls
more on
now, this seems to work for some commands in octave, but certainly not
for user-defined .m files. Is there a reason for this? Is this a
parser limitation, or something else? I find it a slight inconvenience,
but I think it can be discouraging for some people coming from Matlab,
and having their scripts break for this reason.
