[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61521] help syntax for class objects is incomplete

[John W. Eaton]

Update of bug #61521 (project octave):

              Item Group:    Matlab Compatibility => Incorrect Result       
                 Summary: help syntax for class objects is not fully Matlab
compatible  => help syntax for class objects is incomplete

Follow-up Comment #2:

The conflict I was trying to describe is for the case of


help foopkg.m


when both of the following files exist in the loadpath:


foopkg.m
+foopkg/m.m


I suspect that Matlab will find package functions first, then literal
filenames, but I don't think we can know for sure without asking for someone
to test the behavior.

Whatever we do, it seems that the logic for looking up files internally for
execution or with the "which" command or with "exist" should all be the same
and handled in one place.
