Details:

As the title says, Octave does not allow statements of the form:

switch index
otherwise
  default_something = []
end

unless I put a case statement before the otherwise.


Sorry if it's a bit pendantic but this is something that has been recurring
in my users code-base and MATLAB does allow it.
