[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49633] display of "minus zero"?

[Hartmut]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #49633 (project octave):

Sorry for being too fast with opening a bug report.

I have now also found this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2109755/why-does-gnu-octave-have-negative-zeroes

So the "minus zero" seems to be really useful for certain calculations. But
why does Octave choose to also display it as an end result? Matlab seems to
display it as a zero without a minus sign, when I understand the above post
correctly. And I personally was confused because I've never seen any "-0" in
Matlab so far.

Just wandering... I'm fine with keeping it this way as well. But it is
(slightly) Matlab incompatible.
