Prior to 4.4, there were two executables, "octave" (GUI) and "octave-cli"
(CLI).
After 4.4, there are two executables, "octave" (CLI) and "octave-cli" (CLI).
I wonder why there is no "octave-gui" executable or why linking "octave" to
"octave-gui" does not start GUI (instead of writing much longer "octave
--gui" unless you have an alias).
What is the advatange of "octave-cli" if it starts in CLI as "octave" does?
