There isn't such a preferred way. On the dev version you can directly
call DEFUNs if you #include "builtin-defun-decls.h", but that's very
new.

Yes, this is the only way if you absolutely must use an oct file (or
you'll have to duplicate some or most of the code in the assignin
DEFUN). However, consider if you really need to do all of your work in
the oct file. It's usually easier to do most of the argument parsing
and checking in an m-file, and then just define some
__internal_fast_function__ in the oct file. You don't need to write
everything in C++.
