And one more that, although it was probably introduced with Jaroslav's
diagonal and permutation matrix changes for 3.2.x and has apparently
gone unreported since then, would be good to fix before the release:

  https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?32346

The problem seems to be that indexing a diagonal matrix does not
always work correctly.  For example, try this:

  diag_eye = eye (3);
  full_eye = full (diag_eye);
  full_eye([3,1,2], [3,2,1])
  diag_eye([3,1,2], [3,2,1])

I see:

  octave:3> full_eye([3,1,2], [3,2,1])
  ans =

     1   0   0
     0   0   1
     0   1   0

  octave:4> diag_eye([3,1,2], [3,2,1])
  ans =

  Permutation Matrix

     0   1   0
     1   0   0
     0   0   1


The result with the full_eye matrix is correct.
