Details:
As far as I know, Octave has no defined syntax yet (Appendix I in the manual),
and this use of the colon operator seems to be an extension with respect to
the (supposedly exactly defined) MATLAB syntax (although --traditional seems
to let it pass). Anyway, I would expect
~:1> [1 [2 3](:)']
to be equivalent to
~:1> [1 [2 3]]
instead the interpreter says
parse error:
syntax error
>>> [1 [2 3](:)']
^
Interestingly,
~:1> [1 [2 3]'(:)']
does work.
