[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60920] [octave forge] (optim) New warnings on loading package

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #60920 (project octave):

I get an internal error about the invalid use of a symbol as both a variable
and a command. This is with Octave version 7 (hg id: bc19d9360bac).

The culprit seems to be the whitespace between a variable and the increment or
decrement operator. Maybe this is a new change?
