[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62552] In-place operator spacing works for 'i' and 'j', but not other variable names

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #62552 (project octave):

Maybe this?

- For compatibility with command syntax, inplace operators (`+=`, `-=`,
`*=`, `.*=`, `/=`, `./=`, `\=`, `.\=`, `^=`, `.^=`, `|=`, `&=`) must now
either be followed by a whitespace character or must not be preceded by a
whitespace character.  For commands with binary operators (`+`, `-`, `*`,
 `.*`, `/`, `./`, `\`, `.\`, `^`, `.^`, `|`, `&`, `||`, `&&`) without
assignment, the same rules apply.  That was not a requirement in previous
versions of Octave.
E.g., `a + b`, `a+ b`, or `a+b` are valid if `a` is a variable.  In
contrast, `a +b` is not valid if `a` is a variable.  The latter example
is now interpreted as command syntax equivalent to the function syntax
`a ("+b")`.
