Details:

The 'input' function in Matlab evaluates '\n' in its first argument, see:
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/input.html#btt5u2a-2
while Octave displays it unmodified.

I went as far as:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/d150180e41e0/libinterp/corefcn/input.cc#l599
It seems that Matlab only understands '\n' (e.g. not '\t').
