[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56167] non-existent cell indexing within matrix brackets results in concatenation error

[Andrew Janke]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #56167 (project octave):

this usage.

I vote for this. I don't see an advantage for the empty-index usage, and
compatibility is a nice default.

Plus, I think there's a good chance that "c{}" indexing is just a typo. E.g.
this:


[c{}]


Might be just a typo for this:


[c {}]


which is a way of concatenating an empty cell onto an existing array.
