[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56856] Matlab calls class subsasgn method with array of double instead of class type

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #56856 (project octave):

[comment #6 comment #6:]

start to fail:

In which context are you using this function? Why isn't it creating an
infinite loop?

> I'm also confused why the 'val' value is passed in as a double array, but a
direct call to subsasgn like this with a builtin class fails in Matlab:

Sorry, I'm not familiar with inputParser... not sure what you expect to see
here.
