("="): Call maybe_mark_previous_toke_as_variable. (handle_identifier): Don't tag variables as possible commands. (param_list): Mark names in list as variables. (octave_base_parser::validate_matrix_for_assignment): Likewise. * pt-arg-list.h, pt-arg-list.cc (tree_argument_list::variable_names): New function. * pt-misc.h, pt-misc.cc (tree_parameter_list::variable_names): New function. * token.h, token.cc (token::symbol_name, token::is_symbol): New functions. * test/bug-38576.tst: New file. * test/Makefile.am (FCN_FILES): Add bug-38576.tst to the list.
