more on inline

[Teemu Ikonen]

Hi,

I tried function valued parameters with Matlab R13, and found that Octave is
not fully compatible, although it does the right thing:

octave:16> ff = inline("f(x)", "f", "x")
ff =

f(f, x) = f(x)

octave:17> ff(@sin, 1)
ans = 0.84147

Matlab:
>> ff = inline('f(x)', 'f', 'x')
ff =
     Inline function:
     ff(f,x) = f(x)
>> ff(@sin, 1)
ans =
    @sin
>> version
ans =
6.5.0.180913a (R13)
              
I'm not sure if this still the behaviour of R14, but this might be one case
where bug for bug compatibility is not a good idea.
