Follow-up Comment #27:

Re: comment #25: Another way of looking at it is that anonymous functions are
just another way of writing a nested function that have the following special
features:

The body of the function may contain only a single expression, no statements. 
In Matlab, assignments are statements while in Octave they are expressions. 
But in anonymous functions, Octave also disallows assignment expressions.

Unlike ordinary nested functions, anonymous functions also capture variable
values from the parent scope when the anonymous function statement is
evaluated.

But otherwise, they also capture the parent stack frame(s) just as handles to
nested functions do.
