I find the new behavior more consistent, 'which', 'who', and 'whos' all return nothing for an indexing expression. In 4.4, 'who a.b' returned nothing while 'whos a.b' returned something. Unless there is a strong reason to bring back the previous behavior, not needed for compatibility, I think this is working correctly.

For what its worth, Matlab also returns nothing for "whos a.b".

In a previous version (e.g. 4.4.0),


a.b = pi
whos a.b


produced something like

-----------------------------
   Attr Name        Size                     Bytes  Class
   ==== ====        ====                     =====  =====
        a.b         1x1                          8  double
-----------------------------

But in the present version (stable or dev) I get nothing. I am not sure if this is a bug though.
