I think the octave-{inf,mod,hlp}.el files that are included with Emacs have diverged from the versions that are distributed with Octave. It would be helpful if someone could reconcile the differences. Have both versions been differently maintained? If only the versions in Emacs have been changed, then it's simple. Should we even continue to distribute these files with Octave? I think there is no reason to do so, now that they are in Emacs. However, if improvements have been made in the versions distributed with Octave, we should merge them into Emacs.
