The code:
https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/dataframe/ci/dataframe-1.2.0/tree/inst/@dataframe/subsref.m#l37


  if (strcmp (S(1).type, '.')) %# struct access
    indi = regexp (S(1).subs, 'as');
    if (~isempty (indi))
      if (length (S) < 2 || ~strcmp (S(2).type, '.'))
        error ('The output format qualifier "as" must be followed by a type');
      end
      asked_output_type = 'array';
      asked_output_format = S(2).subs; S = S(3:end);
    else



If I change it to:


 if (strcmp (S(1).type, '.')) %# struct access
    if (strcmp (S(1).subs, 'as'))
      if (length (S) < 2 || ~strcmp (S(2).type, '.'))
        error ('The output format qualifier "as" must be followed by a type');
      end
      asked_output_type = 'array';
      asked_output_format = S(2).subs; S = S(3:end);
    else


It stops doing it

Yikes. Does this mean that I could conceivably create a field name that caused some kind of function injection?

It looks like it is thinking the 'as' in 'lastday' is the .as. subsref function.
