[Rik]

Update of bug #59401 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #1:

I don't think "argn" is supposed to be visible to users, and thus it would be
okay if it disappeared as long as no functionality that depended on it was
broken.

jwe replaced obvious instances of argn with inputname back in December, 2018.

summary:     use inputname function instead of argn automatic variable


If you must rely on this internal functionality then replace "argn" with


__varval__ (".argn.")
