[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51962] "A++" assigns to 'ans' while "A += 1" and "A = A + 1" do not

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #51962 (project octave):

I had more in mind lazy evaluation so that the pre- and postfix timing was
still respected, but that the actual operation was performed by the in-place
operator.

C doesn't have an 'ans' variable and Matlab doesn't have '++'/'--' operators
so there is no compatibility requirements that say we couldn't make these
operators do somethin special, like not return the ans variable.

But I'm also not too bothered if we just want to document the difference.
