Follow-up Comment #3:

So this is for old-style classes defined by an @class directory I suppose.
Objects implemented in C++ can override the octave_base_value::is_true method
for this purpose.

As far as I can tell, this would be implemented by adding a method
octave_class::is_true and having it look up and evaluate the "logical" method.
Something like the attached diff seems to work for me.
