I'm not sure what was discussed, but I can kind of see a point of differentiating between "this keyword or punctuation doesn't exist in Matlab", versus "this syntax does something different in Octave vs Matlab".

Adding jwe, Mike, and Carne to the bug report.  There was a little bit of a discussion of this at OctConf 2015.  Perhaps "language-extension" is too broad to include both "endif", "endwhile" warnings and "automatic-broadcast" warnings.

Until Version 4.0.0, it was possible to warn (or cause an error) on automatic broadcasting.

Version 4.0.0 merged warning ID "Octave:automatic-broadcast" into "Octave:language-extension", which is currently unusable and likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.

The fix is a one-liner (plus restoring the documentation etc.), but Carnë is arguing strongly against fixing this bug, and so I won't bother attaching the patch until there is community support for it.

As a non-maintainer, I can't link this to bug #45761, but the link should be made.
