Details:

The following is valid MatLab code (2018b)

+
a = reshape(1:36, 6, 6);
any(a>5, 'all')
all(a>5, 'all')
--

with result 1 (true).
In octave 4.0.3 i get the error

++
error: invalid conversion from string to real scalar
error: octave_base_value::int_value (): wrong type argument 'sq_string'
error: all: expecting dimension argument to be an integer
--

Differences between octave and matlab are considered a bug (at least according
to wikipedia), and as both the FAQ
(https://wiki.octave.org/FAQ#Differences_between_Octave_and_Matlab) and the
trouble section of the documentation
(https://octave.org/doc/interpreter/Trouble.html#Trouble) do not mention this
as an exception, I would think so too.
