Update of bug #32533 (project octave):

                Priority:              5 - Normal => 3 - Low                
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
                 Summary: Different operator preference than Matlab =>
Operator precedence for transpose incorrect

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.  Regardless of compatibility, there is a difference between the
documented behavior and the actual behavior.  According to the manual, section
8.8 on Operator Precedence, exponentiation has the highest priority of all
operations and transpose is 2 levels lower.  Thus, the exponentiation really
should happen first followed by the transpose.

I'm going to lower the priority on the issue, however, since there is an
obvious work-around of using parentheses to specify the exact order of
operations.
