I believe that part of this problem is fixed after this changeset:

  http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/e760fef2829c

I also added a test that attempts to verify that the bug is fixed:

  http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/5bca1527b034

Now, I see that creating a function handle with the @FCN syntax appears to work but using str2func ("FCN") fails.  I assume that both should work, but I'm not certain that Matlab treats @FCN identically to str2func in all cases.  I think Octave's current implementation of str2func is always creating a "simple" function handle but the @FCN is searching for class methods and nested functions when creating the function handle.  Before proceeding, I'd like verification of Matlab behavior.

Is this just another example of the fact that function handles to nested functions can't be created?  I'm thinking of bug #39257.  Or is this new behavior?

Creating a function handle to a method within another method fails.

I am attaching test case.
