Historically, the m-file language was not object oriented. However, classdef support is being added to Octave and will allow methods associated with different objects to be called for each instance of an object.

Ah, sweet!  I think the methods in the classdef is what I am after. I am currently using octave 3.8.1 on Debian Jessie. Does this support classdef? 

octave:1> help classdef

error: help: 'classdef' not found

octave:1> version

ans = 3.8.1

If not, is it available in a development branch or something? I don't mind compiling from source. I have not done this in a long time as Debian octave packages are pretty good and I never felt the need to compile from sources.
