Follow-up Comment #10, bug #54619 (project octave):
Rik,
Sounds good to me. This is a good Summer project task for a start.
The C++ code should in any case be selected based on an option
setting. As you said, the old code will need to be supported for
compatibility reasons. That also means that the sooner the
old code is frozen the better. This also supports (my) view
that "fixing" the bias in the current code is not a good idea.
