OK, in the current (2.1.x, CVS) sources, fdisp is now an M-file that
does this:

  function fdisp (fid, x)

    if (nargin == 2)
      fid << x << "\n";
    else
      usage ("fdisp (fid, x)");
    endif

  endfunction

and disp is just

  function disp (x)

    if (nargin == 1)
      fdisp (stdout, x)
    else
      usage ("disp (x)");
    endif

  endfunction
