Details:

Matlab does not allow a property inside a class to have the same name as the
class.  Octave does allow this.  Is there any significant architecture issue
to allowing / disallowing this behavior?  In any case, I am just pointing it
out.

Sample code in file testprop.m


classdef testprop

        properties
                testprop = 0;
        end

end


Then execute


x = testprop
x.testprop
