It _does_ make sense. Every decent language nowadays allows operator overloading.
For example, read http://perldoc.perl.org/bigint.html . From there:
"
All operators (including basic math operations) are overloaded. Integer
constants are created as proper BigInts.
Floating point constants are truncated to integer. All parts and results of
expressions are also truncated.
Unlike integer, this pragma creates integer constants that are only
limited in their size by the available memory and CPU time.".
So, I do not want broadcasting and similar bullshit to be splashed on me by Octave developers. Instead I want a set of modules/pragmas which would allow me to use the (sub)set of math I want/need.
I have a pretty simple suggestion to get rid permanently of all these annoying behaviors (developed by unpaid people during their spare time) : don't use octave. Really, I mean it. After all the griefs you've exposed against octave and the dumbness of its developers, I don't understand why you're still using it.
