Just curious if anyone is interested in altering the interpretation of
the "help" so that instead of
octave:22> help '
parse error:
syntax error
help '
^
the result would be the same as from
octave:22> help "'"
-- '
Matrix transpose operator. For complex matrices, computes the
[snip]
See also: .', transpose.
I don't think that is breaking anything by handling in a special way,
and it makes it a little bit more convenient for someone who is
searching for help on that operator.
In a similar fashion, if the user is interested in the help for .'
listed above, I doubt there is any use for this:
octave:23> help .'
ans =
F
o
r
h
e
l
p
[snip]
so I wonder if that help syntax interpretation could be altered as well.
