Ensure the syntax is what we guess

It would be nice to publish (as in Old School Languages) a syntax summary of Matlab, reflecting the exact behaviour of the interpreter.
It could help to prevent surprise from unexpected results, such as when one evaluates the expression : 5 + 1*0:10
A single transcription of the formal grammar contained in the interpreter's code would be sufficient.
Thanks.

I would not call it a bug. It just reflects that ":" is a low priority operator, which is consistent. If you want to raise the priority of the ":" then use brackets.

You do not have to _guess_ the details of the syntax. It is explained exhaustively in the documentation already. Your example |5 + 1*0:10| is clear after reading:

Note, that X((1+0):(1+10)) will be processed faster than X(1 + (0:10)): In the 1st case the limits are checked for the marginal elements only, while in the 2nd case Matlab wastes time with boundary checks. Of course this is more important for larger index vectors.
