Details:

According to the documentation
<https://octave.org/doc/v4.4.0/Operator-Precedence.html> the call operator
takes precedence over transpose/ctranspose operators so considering the
following piece of code 


a = [1 2; 3 4];
disp(a'(2))
disp(a.'(2))


Because of higher precedence of the indexing operator it should behave as :


temp = a(2);
disp(temp')


and it should show 3 but it currently behaves as:


temp = a';
disp(temp(2))


that displays the wrong result of 2.
In other words *a'(2)* and *a(2)'* should produce the same result.
