Follow-up Comment #1, bug #46598 (project octave):
Here's what Matlab is documented to do:
http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/eps.html
Maybe we should just match this behavior and nothing more?
I think I chose to also allow dimensions to be specified so that the
definition of eps would be consistent with Inf and NaN, but then I missed this
ambiguity.

Oh, hey, now I notice that they have added even more baggage to the Inf and
NaN functions (the "like" parameter, for example) so we are not compatible
there now either.
TMW sure does seem to have a love affair with the overloaded function
definitions...
