[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62417] 'format' errors on names with spaces when calling with function form

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #62417 (project octave):

by my understanding of the code, not so much intentional checking as an
artifact of how it processes the inputs.  'format short e' has two separate
options, 'short' and 'e', passed to it. if the code sees 'short' it checks to
see if the next input is 'e' or another valid option, and if so processes it
as 'shorte', etc.  for function input, format('short e') has only one option
input, and none match 'short e', but format('shorte') matches, and
format('short','e') behaves the same as 'format short e'
