Follow-up Comment #12, bug #68529 (group octave):

Previously the script:

$ cat t_elseif.m 
if (true)
  disp ("script completed")
elseif
  error ("this is parsed as the elseif condition by Octave 11")
endif

worked:
+verbatim=
octave:1> t_elseif
script completed
octave:2> ver
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GNU Octave Version: 11.3.0 (hg id: 4e62258d6e20)
...
-verbatim-

Now it errors out:

octave:1> t_elseif
error: syntax error near line 4, column 0 in file
/home/dmitri/scratch/t_elseif.m

>>> elseif
          ^
octave:2> ver
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GNU Octave Version: 12.0.0 (hg id: a1607403a1d9+)
...


Not sure what to do about it (I think the script is bad, so error out looks OK
to me), In particular that broke `datatypes` package.

Dmitri.
