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

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #48, bug #62552 (project octave):

changed the following sections as
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/e3b0fac6acde

 I think it better attributes the ambiguity and is consistent with how the doc
addresses other potential ambiguities: 

func.txt:

It should be noted that mixing command syntax and binary operators can create
apparent ambiguities with mathematical and logical expressions that use
function syntax.  For example, all three of the statements

@example
arg1 - arg2
arg1 -arg2
arg1-arg2
@end example

@noindent
could be intended by a user to be subtraction operations between @code{arg1}
and @code{arg2}.  The first two, however, could also have been meant as a
command syntax call to function @code{arg1}, in the first case with options
@code{-} and @code{arg2}, and in the second case with option @code{-arg2}.


expr.txi:

Note also that some combinations of binary operators and whitespace can create
apparent ambiguities with the Command Syntax form of calling functions.  See
@ref{Command Syntax and Function Syntax} for a description of how Octave
treats that syntax.
