[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61521] help syntax for class objects is not fully Matlab compatible

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #61521 (project octave):

Another incorrect behavior is that if the method name is the same as a regular
function then the class is ignored and help from the regular function is
returned.  For example, inputParser has a delete method.  Executing


help inputParser.delete
'inputParser.delete' is a function from the file
/home/rik/wip/Projects_Mine/octave-dev/scripts/miscellaneous/delete.m

 -- delete (FILE)
 -- delete (FILE1, FILE2, ...)
 -- delete (HANDLE)
     Delete the named file or graphics handle.

     FILE may contain globbing patterns such as '*'.  Multiple files to
     be deleted may be specified in the same function call.

     HANDLE may be a scalar or vector of graphic handles to delete.

     Programming Note: Deleting graphics objects is the proper way to
     remove features from a plot without clearing the entire figure.

     See also: clf, cla, unlink, rmdir.


which shows that the help text is coming from the wrong file.
