operator /: nonconformant arguments

[Miquel Cabanas]

hi all,

there's probably a good reason for this behaviour (even Matlab
compatibility issues) but why is "2/t" not taken as equivalent
to "2./t"?  indeed when the equivalence is granted for +, - and
*

> t = [1:5]

> 2/t
  error: operator /: nonconformant arguments (op1 is 1x1, op2 is 1x5)
  error: evaluating binary operator `/' ...

> 2./t

ns =

  2.00000  1.00000  0.66667  0.50000  0.40000

now try "2*t" and "2.*t", and "2+t" and ...


I am running Octave 2.1.35 as comes with Debian-stable.
