[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45367] addParameter and partial matching for inputParser

[Carnë Draug]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #45367 (project octave):

I was not very clear the first time.

In this patch, the addParameter option is pretty much an alias for
addParamValue and only has an extra option at the end for
PartialMatchPriority. Is it true that Matlab really behaves that way?

If I was doing this myself at Mathworks, and the only difference was an extra
option at the end, I could just add that extra option to addParamValue.  The
new extra option would still be backwards compatibility. To me, that suggests
that AddParamValue and addParameter must behave somewhat different internally
otherwise the deprecation of addParamValue makes no sense.

The problem is that I can't see what the difference is from their help text.
And if it is true that they behave different in some way, then the patch is
incorrect and addParameter needs to be implemented different than
addParamValue.
