Details:

Just getting 3.8.0 installed on Fedora 20 and while testing a few of my
scripts I noticed a regression in parsing char/cell arrays made with line
continuations and inline comments.  A couple simple examples:


octave:1> a=['a' ... % hi
> 'b'];
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> 'b'];
      ^

octave:1> a={'a' ... % hi
> 'b'};
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> 'b'};
      ^



Under 3.6.4 these commands parse without error or issue.  As an aside, inline
comments in numeric arrays appear to work as expected in 3.8.0:


octave:1> a=[1 ... % hi
> 2];
octave:2> a
a =

   1   2

octave:3>
