Guys (i.e. developers),

you openly declare that Octave is supposed to be compatible with Matlab
(except really dumb cases of Matlab behavior), so a logical consequence
is that Octave plotting subsystem is supposed to be compatible with
Matlab one.

So, why not be constructively lazy and simply include references to
Matlab documentation (URLs, function names).

I also have great difficulties dealing with Octave plot subsystem because
only very basic info is available in the form of 'help ...'.

Thanks,
  Sergei.
