Yes, at least it's reminder. However, I think the syntax is around for a
long time and it's not easy to change. For example, the following works
as "expected".

octave:1> if (1 == true), disp("True"), endif;
True
octave:2> if (0 == true), disp("True"), endif;
octave:3>

Thanks all for the very useful explanation.
