[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46598] unable to get single eps when specifying class

[Rik]

Update of bug #46598 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #2:

I hate Matlab's desire to keep changing the API of perfectly good functions,
especially when there is so little to be gained.

The syntax


Inf (N, M, K, ..., 'like', p)


can in most circumstances be replaced by


Inf (N, M, K, ..., class (p))


It's even the same number of characters so you're not saving on any typing.

As for this bug, what would follow the principle of least surprise?  Would it
be to remove functionality and adopt the Matlab API for this function?  Would
it be to remove the 'eps (..., CLASS)' functionality and just support 'eps
(CLASS)'
