    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Without parentheses '()' to help the interpreter, Octave issues an invalid
index error.

Example Code:


x = containers.Map
error: invalid index type '.' for function call


But adding '()' makes the code work correctly


x = containers.Map ()
x =

  containers.Map object with properties:

    Count     : 0
    KeyType   : char
    ValueType : any
