trying it out in Matlab 2020a:

 >> containers.Map(['foo';'bar';'baz'], [1,2])
Error using containers.Map
The number of keys and values must be the same.


generally, it's not an error for Octave to do things that Matlab doesn't.
I don't know enough about this function to know what it should do and if
allowing creation of the map _should_ be an error. But if that is
problematic, it could be a bug worth reporting.
