[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63460] mean should support operation on more than 2 remaining dimensions for Matlab compatibility

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #63460 (project octave):

Prior to supporting multiple dimensions, I would say that this was a feature
request.  Now that mean() supports multiple dimensions, but not as well as
Matlab, I would call it Matlab Compatibility.  Alternatively, you could argue
that Octave supports multiple dimensions up to 2 and therefore it is a feature
request to support more than 2 dimensions.

This is a specific hack in mean.m.  Long term, the Array class probably needs
updating to support "omitnan"/"includenan" and also to support a vector of
dimensions for operations like sum().
