[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51988] syntax error on command syntax in script file when command is shadowed by a variable

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #51988 (group octave):

Explore the quotation part of it.  That is,

axis = 5;
axis equal
axis "equal"
clear axis
axis equal
axis "equal"

If the sequence makes sense, then close.  I suppose the same could be achieve
with

clear "all"

in your example.

Out of curiosity, you could try the following example to see if there is any
way out of the situation:

clear = 1;
clear all
clear clear
clear("all")

That sort of thing.
