[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40993] xlsread doesn't fall back to csvread for .CSV files

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #40993 (project octave):

/from an enduser perspective I would like to have matlab code run unmodified/

Sure, but that doesn't invalidate my first remark: 

/ ...use the proper tools... /

IMO that holds equally valid for Matlab code. Or would you disagree there?

I'll see what I can do for this. Ancient versions of xlsread.m (from before
"real" spreadsheet support) used to fall back to csvread anyway - IOW there is
a precedent.
