Details:
In the documentation of the "class" and "classdef" keywords on the octave.org
website ([1], as of 2018-07-05), the following pretty essential information is
missing:
1. In section 34. or 34.1, there should be mention that a new class definition
syntax using "classdef" is existing which is more powerful than old-style
class definition.
2. In section 34.2, there should be mention (e.g. by example) that in
old-style class objects, methods must be accessed like "disp(obj,
further_args)". (for Matlb compatibility)
3. In the event of a change in the class code, apparently the internally
stored class definition needs to be updated manually by user. This clearly
must be mentioned (e.g. in 34.1 and 34.6?). Possibly, a warning should be
produced if a code change in the definition can be detected (e.g. on object
creation).
