Details:

>From recent changes to dev octave, the str2func no longer throws an error when
attempting to create a function handle to a non existing function.


a = str2func('unknown_func_name') 


In Octave 5.1, this would cause on an error to an for no function or method
found.


In octave 6, it just returns the string @unknown_func_name
