[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61132] Colon operator fails for int64 and uint64

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #61132 (project octave):

If I understand correctly, the only cases that need special treatment are when
the base and limit are unsigned integers (of the same type) and the increment
is a negative double value.  If so, then maybe we could limit this special
handling of "reverse" ranges to those unsigned integer ranges only and have
the signed integer and floating point ranges always defined with the "reverse"
flag set to false?

We never had integer ranges before, so saving and loading those shouldn't be a
compatibility issue.
