[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52568] str2func can't create a "lazy" handle to function which does not exist when str2func is executed

[Johannes Pfeifer]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #52568 (project octave):

@Philip I simply wanted to point out the incompatibility. I find Octave's
behavior fully reasonable (if properly documented). Problems like the one I
mentioned happen usually only in pathological cases where something else in
the code should be handled differently. In my case, the problem occurred with
the third-party package Dynare. But I guess its problematic code will soon
change, because there is no reason to create the function handle if the
function does not exist (https://github.com/DynareTeam/dynare/pull/1572).
