For me, the advantage is semantic and until recently there is
absolutely no performance advantage (unless it was purely in terms of
parsing).
I guess my point-of-view is that more specific markup is likely to be
superior in the long run. Specific markup can always be machine
transformed into non-specific markup. And it's certainly easier to
modify the interpreter to optimize a++ than it is to make the
interpreter detect that a=a+1 can be optimized.
Anyway, there's no valid reason oct2mat cannot handle these cases
correctly. If it can't then it's a bug in oct2mat.
