Yes it should probably be possible to do something like this since
Matlab has

  clear global    ## clear all global variables completely
  clear global x  ## clear global variable x completely

but Octave does not currently implement this feature.  I don't care
too much about this functionality.  Perhaps someone who does would
like to submit a patch to make it work?
