Follow-up Comment #8:

I know this bug is ancient, but I had someone run a compatibility test with
Matlab.  See
https://octave.discourse.group/t/request-for-matlab-compatibility-test/5184.

Octave is Matlab-compatible, in that both fail to pick up the documentation
for the first function in a script file.  It's not great, but I'm lowering the
priority since there are workarounds (every function in its own file, using
functions and subfunctions, etc.).
