Details:

as per:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/be18c9e359bf

nested functions with scope rules compatible with matlab are now supported.
however, also as per the patch, it appears that handles to nested functions
are not yet supported. i didn't find any discussion of this issue or an
existing open bug.

i ran into this limitation when trying to run some computer vision related
code from here with octave 3.7.5:

code archive:
http://www.vision.caltech.edu/Image_Datasets/CaltechPedestrians/files/code3.0.1.zip

the file dbBrowser.m uses many references to subfunctions.
