[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42735] subclass inheritence: symbol ops (e.g., plus, mtimes) do not respect superiorto

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #42735 (project octave):

In Colin's original example of two old-style classes that are not related by
inheritance, the only thing that needs to be implemented is calling the
correct operator method. I already pointed to the relevant lines of code in
comment #3, this is still valid and I believe the correct place to solve
this.

I haven't looked at all into how much work is needed on the classdef side, but
the parser work seems to have been done a long time ago, the properties are
already parsed and stored in the metaclass, that information just needs to be
used elsewhere, probably passed on to the symbol table the way it is done
currently in the inferiorto and superiorto functions.
