Subject: 25.2; Add support for MATLAB's keyword spmd to octave-mode
Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2019 10:46:00 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Please consider adding support for octave-mode to recognise the (MATLAB)
keyword 'spmd'. This should include that the 'spmd' keyword can match a
corresponding 'end'.

Problem:
When using octave-mode to edit MATLAB code that uses the keyword 'spmd',
the indentation becomes incorrect.
This keyword can be used with the following syntax (see
https://se.mathworks.com/help/parallel-computing/spmd.html):

    spmd
        statements
    end

Since octave-mode doesn't understand that the 'end' is supposed to match
the 'spmd', later code blocks get incorrect indentation as
octave-mode thinks there's an extra 'end' in the code.

Cheers,
Christian
