Overriding builtins

[Jurgen Pletinckx]

Dear all,

I am trying to get an existing Matlab codebase running on
Octave (2.1.73). A first hurdle I face is the incompatibility
between Octave's false (which returns a single boolean) and
Matlabs false (which works like logical(zeros(args)), and can
return multi-dimensional arrays).

Altering the existing scripts would work, obviously. So would 
patching data.cc. But it seems to me that overriding the 
built-in function (well, constant, actually) might be the
quickest way.

Is that possible? If so, how do I go about it?


Thanks,
