    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The documentation contains the warning ID array-to-scalar (and
array-to-vector), but the actual ID raised is array-as-scalar (and
array-as-vector).

The only occurence in the code of the "to" versions is in src/error.cc, where
default warning profile is set up.

There is obviously an inconsistency here.

I would prefer to keep the "as" versions and to drop the "to" versions,
because my code already contains things like:

 warning on
 warning off Octave:array-as-scalar

(since it is the effective way of preventive these warnings to be disabled in
the current state)
