[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51988] syntax error on command syntax in script file when command is shadowed by a variable

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #51988 (group octave):

I don't have v9.1 built, but I do recall a lot of changes on the shadowing of
variables a number of years ago.  I can only imagine that improvements were
made.  If you want a more concrete assessment, JWE could say if it's been
fixed.

I think the the point of comment #0 is that

> axis equal

failed because earlier in the poster's code there happened to be a variable
named "axis", but then that variable went out of scope (was deleted) by the
time

> axis equal

was entered.  That failed.  (This kind of issue is what JWE was working on at
the time.)  But, then oddly

> axis "equal"

worked.
