I provided the above case just as an example. But everyone is picking
out on the example rather than on my actual question. May be it is in
the way I phrased the question.
Is there any separate extension that should be given to octave files
which are incompatible with matlab files?
It makes sense to have a .m extension if the octave file is compatible
with matlab. But if it is incompatible what is the point of having a .m
extension? We might as well have a octave specific extension say .oct
indicating outright that the file is incompatible with matlab.
.oct is actually for compiled Octave functions. There is no different,
octave specific, extension. I think that it would just add to confusion
since they are mostly compatible, and the incompatibilities run both ways.
