Follow-up Comment #6, bug #44722 (project octave):

@Julien: Now it makes sense (comment #5).  Octave used to interpret


A' \ b

as 

(A') \ b


The transpose was done in Octave and then the work of the left division
operator was left to BLAS/LAPACK.

This was completely inefficient as BLAS/LAPACK have options for indicating
whether a matrix is being entered in a transposed form or not.  Now we just
call BLAS and give the correct options, but it could lead to a small
difference in calculation.
