Follow-up Comment #21, bug #48564 (group octave):

In general, Octave tries not to chase undocumented Matlab behavior.  I think
that gives us the freedom to reject the *ndims(A) > 2* case if we want.

Could you post a summary on Octave Discourse?  I think it would be good to get
other developer's opinion on this question.

I also like Philip's idea to see how other implementations have chosen to
handle this case.

Among the many things I find odd here is why scalars aren't treated uniformly.
 If one of the operands, B or A, is a scalar why doesn't that just switch the
operation to element-by-element?
