Why does not Matlab language support function/operator chaining?

E.g.:

setdiff(1:3, randi(3))(randi(2))

One must factor out the resulting list from setdiff into a separate variable first:

t = setdiff(1:3, randi(3));

t(randi(2))

This is so medieval even by 1980s standards...

Matlab does not support this, because it has not been implemented yet.

Sorry. The answer is trivial.

I'm using Matlab to solve problems. It did not prevent me to find a solution, that I have to store the output in a variable before I can apply an index.
