Currently there are several things where I would like to contribute. Until I
feel ready to really improve octave I consider this help-list more appropriate
to find out about existing features. Do you think I should have written it to
the maintainers list?

This was definitely not what I wanted to pexpress with my question, which was
meant absolutely neutral. While studying parts of octave's source code I find
it sometimes confusing, but I have no idea whether it could be improved
(besides extensions, of course). The reason is that I am neither computer
scientist nor familiar with compiler design beyond knowledge of bison/flex
tutorials.

good to hear. Once I find the time to start working on it (may be in 2 months
or in 2 years...), I'll announce it to the maintainers list.
