Follow-up Comment #1:

I really don't think this is a bug nor that anything should be done about it.

Namespace collisions are something of a conscious design decision of the
Matlab language. I think it's the stupidest thing of the language, but it's
built-in. We have to mimic them in Octave.

The most common namespace collision is for the i or j variables, which by
default are built-in functions. Do you really want to get a warning every time
you do for i = 1:10? Do you also want us to change the documentation and track
down every instance of where we used i or j for variables in the documentation
and we didn't mean the built-in functions?

When your code started spewing Octave documentation, I suppose you would have
preferred it to error out saying undefined variable?

I am tentatively closing this bug report as invalid. If you disagree, we may
reopen it.
