Follow-up Comment #2, bug #48221 (project octave):
At some point Matlab may have moved this around. It is certainly dead simple
to move it up from the private directory into the 'prefs' directory where it
will be visible.
I don't know that we need to bother to support prefdir(1) syntax. Octave
automatically creates the file '.octave_prefs' as necessary. Of course, we
could always just document that you can call it that way.
Also, Octave supports preferences, but we support them in a UNIX way which is
to have an rc file in the user's home directory. We don't use a separate
folder, ~/.octave/, to hold that rc file.
