At the risk of getting off topic here, based on the Projects [1] and
classdef [2] wiki pages, is the status of newer style classdef classes such
that the old style should be completely avoided? Asking because I was
looking at an old simple bug [3] with a patch in the old class style and I
was debating bringing it up to date including redoing it as a 'new style'
class as a way to start learning about such things.
