[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50202] automatic padding: a(3)=4

[Colin Macdonald]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #50202 (project octave):

> but I assume a 'default object' is defined when one is created

Yes, "Ideally, even when the constructor is called with no arguments it should
return a valid object."
[https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Creating-a-Class.html]
(I seem to remember this is also needed to support save/load).

If the class overrides "subsasn" then it may need to deal with this padding
issue by itself.  I've just [patched Symbolic to do
so](https://github.com/cbm755/octsympy/pull/760).
