[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54490] Order of evaluation in assignment expression

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #54490 (project octave):

In the multiple assignment form "[lhs, ...] = rhs", Octave creates an object
from the lhs to determine what nargout should be, then evaluates the RHS.  For
the single assignment form "lhs = rhs", we have been doing things the other
way, since the assumption is that the only possible value for nargout here is
1.  But it would probably be better for both of these cases to be handled
consistently.  I think the attatched diff does that.
