    _______________________________________________________

Details:

For the following documented usages, Octave should allow more than 3
arguments:

 -- Function File:  assert (COND, ERRMSG, ...)
 -- Function File:  assert (COND, MSG_ID, ERRMSG, ...)

But in 3.8.0 it does not any more:

function assert (cond, varargin)

  if (nargin == 0 || nargin > 3)
    print_usage ();
  endif


* Expected output (Octave 3.6.4):

octave:1> assert(false, '%s%s', 'a', 'b')
error: ab
error: called from:
error:   C:\Octave\Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2\share\octave\3.6.4\m\testfun\assert.m
at line 74, column 9

* Actual output (Octave 3.8.0):

>> assert(false, '%s%s', 'a', 'b')
error: Invalid call to assert.  Correct usage is:
[...]
