Details:

In Octave 4.2.1, I could shadow the disp function:


$ octave-cli --version | grep ^GNU
GNU Octave, version 4.2.1
$ octave-cli -q
octave:1> function disp (varargin)
printf ("New disp function\n")
endfunction
octave:2> disp (1)
New disp function


However, it does not work in 4.4.0:


$ octave-cli --version | grep ^GNU
GNU Octave, version 4.4.0
$ octave-cli -q
octave:1> function disp (varargin)
printf ("New disp function\n")
endfunction
octave:2> disp (1)
 1


Is this normal or is this a regression?
