Details:

I have attached a file containing a classdef class definition. In the
constructor, a handle is created to a method in the class, and it is then
called in another method.

This behaviour works in Matlab, but not in Octave

In matlab:


>> x = method_function_handle_test

x = 

  method_function_handle_test with no properties.

>> x.bar
hello!


In Octave:


>> x = method_function_handle_test
error: @foo: no function and no method found
error: called from
    method_function_handle_test at line 17 column 17
stopped in <****>/scratch/mfiles/octave_tests/method_function_handle_test.m at
line 17
17:       self.hfoo = @foo;


While I find this an odd way to do things I came across it in code in the
wild, so it's out there.
