[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57255] "+=" in anonymous function within cell array context should emit an error

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #57255 (project octave):

This is much better.  See below for the transcript of a testing session in
Octave. 


octave:1> counter = @() x += 1 ;
error: parse error:

  syntax error

>>> counter = @() x += 1 ;
                      ^
octave:1> counter = @() {x += 1 ; }
error: parse error:

  invalid use of operator += in anonymous function

>>> counter = @() {x += 1 ; }
                     ^


If I could have everything I wanted, it would be that the very clear error
message "invalid use of operator" would also be emitted in the first example
rather than the vaguer "syntax error".
