[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48802] function overload resolution on function handles fails on classdef methods defined in class body

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #48802 (project octave):

I can't test that for you, but Matlab fundamental classes are documented at
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/fundamental-matlab-classes.html,
all builtin numeric types, logical, char, struct, cell, and table.

I don't know what they are trying to say with "a function in a class that is
not a fundamental Matlab class", since they don't give a counterexample. When
would the binding ever occur at the time of declaration? I have no idea. That
seems like another inconsistency, I would expect function handles to always be
symbolic and only bind to the function when they are invoked with their
arguments.
