+Octave has several operators for which no corresponding C++ operators exist. For example, the Octave code +

+calls the Octave operator horzcat of the class of a. Hence, if a is of type swig_ref you can write an overload for this operator for your wrapped C++ class by placing a file @swig_ref/horzcat.m in the Octave load path (like for every Octave class, see Creating a Class). This Octave function file is then called whenever the above Octave code is executed for a variable of type swig_ref. +
