Yes, well I would personally prefer to not have magic whitespace in
this context (or inside []).  But if Octave behaves differently from
Matlab in this regard, it causes a lot more problems than it solves.

If you want to know why Matlab has this "feature" then I guess you
should ask the MathWorks about the history behind it.
