[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55667] Conflict between package namespace and function name

[Olaf Till]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #55667 (project octave):

@JWE:
If foo().index and foo(some,arguments).index could be kept working, even if
foo.index can't (for a function foo), I think that would help much.
Regarding your example with dir(), I don't see the reason for assuming nargout
== 0 in a call like foo().index ...

Well, I counted less than 100 lines in package optim containing 

function_call(arguments)(index)

or

value(index)(index) .

But using subsref() or some streamlined version of it as an alternative would
not improve readability...
