[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40368] octave_config_info() should be read-only

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #40368 (project octave):

Is there a way Octave could produce a warning message in this situation? 
Trying to index into a non-existent variable with a string doesn't seem like
something that the user intended.

More samples


a("junk") = "abc"
error: A(I) = X: X must have the same size as I
a("junk") = "abcd"
a = adcb


The assignment succeeds when the index expression on the left matches the size
of the expression on the right.  And if you do an alphabetical sort on "junk"
the ordering is [1 4 3 2] so it appears that it is doing a = "abcd"([1 4 3
2]).
