Well, it's your work so you can do whichever way is better for you.
ideally, you could write it using classdef (Matlab compatible), use it
in your own work (if you are using development version), and then we
would only release it as part of the communications package once
classdef is also released (4.2). It wouldn't be the first time we hold
packages releases until a specific Octave release happens. Or you
could simply branch comm for stuff that will be dependent on 4.2 so
others can continue working and releasing the communications package.

I guess this would be the ideal case. I'm unsure if the current state
of classdef is enough to implement the goldsequence options you
specifically want, if using development version is acceptable for your
work, or if you have the extra time working with classdef may take.
