[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #32497] Matlab Incompatibilities

[Judd Storrs]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #32497 (project octave):

If we compile a list of property names that exist in Matlab, then perhaps in
those cases that the abbreviation would be resolvable against the list of
properties that Matlab supports, we can resolve it to the Matlab expansion and
issue a warning instead of an error?

Rather than issuing an error that "horizontalalignment" and
"horizontalalignmentmode" conflict and stopping execution when encountering
"horizontal", octave could instead check the alternatives against the Matlab
compatibility list and if a unique solution was found issue a warning and
continue with the Matlab expansion.

So in this case "horizontalalignment" and "horizontalalignmentmode" would be
searched and presumabley "horizontalalignment" would be found but
"horizontalalignmentmode" would not. Octave would issue a warning asking the
user to repair the code, and then continue while using the
"horizontalalignment" property.

Thoughts?
